Who is the person that confirms the evacuation / in-building relocation of building occupants through a safe & uncontaminated stairwell?

• A. Fire Life Safety Director
• B. Building Owner
• C. EAP Fire Warden
• D. Emergency Response Personnel

Answer: (C)

During an evacuation, the person responsible for confirming that building occupants have moved through a safe and uncontaminated stairwell is the EAP Fire Warden. This role is part of the Emergency Action Plan and is specifically designated to lead internal evacuation, ensure the designated stairwells remain clear and free from hazards, and verify that everyone is accounted for at the muster point or assembly area. The Fire Warden coordinates with others and reports evacuation status to incident command, providing a clear picture of who is safely outside. While the Fire Life Safety Director oversees overall safety operations, and the Building Owner or Emergency Response Personnel may be involved in broader responsibilities, the on-site task of confirming evacuation through the safe stairwell rests with the EAP Fire Warden.
