55 OBS allows customers to either disperse or muster. So that you are safe from any potential danger and rather than create a large gathering close to the office, it is now recommended that people disperse until the threat has passed. The rationale will be for one Fire Marshall to report that a floor is clear to the ICO and wait at the dispersal point (at least 400m safe distance from the building) until the all clear is given. It will then be the responsibility of the company (via whatever multi-address system they
use) to inform their staff that they can return to the building. In some instances, a customer may choose for their staff to not disperse in which case a designated muster point is used. At least one fire Marshall should wait with the ICO to pass on the all clear message.
Fire Alarm Testing
Weekly audibility tests will be carried out during operational hours, 55 OBS is every Thursday at 10am. It is the customers responsibility to ensure that the statutory testing of occupier installed fire alarm systems within their demise is carried out in line with current legislation and relevant British Standards. Prior to testing of any fire alarm please liaise with the Workplace Management team to ensure correct procedures are in place for isolating the system.

All occupiers are asked to advise the Workplace Management and Security Team of the number of employees with limited access and PEEPS – (Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans are to be supplied to the security control room for use in emergencies).

Emergency procedure

On activation the fire alarm bell will activate telling all customers to leave the building by the nearest exit. There is no VAPA system on site. The evacuation process is co-ordinated by the landlord security team. Due to the nature of this system ALL Contractors and Visitors should be inducted on arrival of the tenant floors so that they are aware of the procedures when they hear the fire alarm activation. The Fire Brigade is to be called by the landlord security team if confirmed as a genuine incident/emergency through initial investigation. The Fire Brigade may require the assistance from specific staff in some circumstances and may require access to demised areas.
