The Building Emergency Warden (B.E.W.) will be responsible for maintaining a current list of all monitors and for providing the University Fire Prevention Officer (F.P.O.) with any revisions. The B.E.W. will serve as a contact person for the University Fire Prevention Officer in order to coordinate fire drills, training sessions and testing of fire protection equipment. The B.E.W. will also serve as an on-site contact person during an emergency. All Building Exit Monitors and Exit Monitors should report all emergency related information to the B.E.W. Also, the B.E.W. should maintain a list of important contacts for each building. For example lab supervisors, department heads, individuals who should be notified in the event of an incident or who could be of assistance.

Note: In the event the Building Director is unable to serve as B.E.W. another individual should be appointed.
