In accordance with the Ontario Fire Code, the building is required to hold quarterly
Floor Warden Meetings, for the "Fire and Life Safety" education of tenants and staff.
Fire drills for participation by Floor Wardens and tenants are held periodically
throughout the year so that all tenants are able to experience one evacuation per
year. Letters will be sent to your Facilities Co-ordinator outlining times and dates of
these drills.
Fire Drill Instructions
1. The Fire Alarm will sound at the designated time and date. An announcement
will be made immediately prior to the alarm and announcements will continue
during the drill.
2. Floor Wardens are to instruct all occupants in the assigned area to proceed to
the nearest stairwell exit in an orderly manner. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS.
3. Enter the stairwell and proceed to the ground level exit of the stairwell and leave
the building. In the interest of everyone's safety:
DO NOT RUN DOWN THE STAIRS
DO NOT BLOCK THE STAIRWELL
DO NOT REVERSE DIRECTION
CONTINUE TO DESCEND STAIRS
STAY TO THE CENTRE & HUG THE HAND RAIL
4. The alarm will be silenced after approximately three minutes. All participants
must continue to descend the stairs and evacuate the building. Proceed to the
designated evacuation area (refer to the Warden's Procedures Manual), do not
congregate directly outside the building. "MOVE AWAY FROM THE BUILDING"
5. Do not impair pedestrian or vehicular traffic around the building. Your designated

During an Earthquake
In the unlikely event of an earthquake, there are several things you should
remember that will reduce your personal risk. If you feel a tremor:
1. Remain calm and reassure others.
2. Get under a strong table or desk to protect yourself from flying objects. Keep
clear of shelves and high stacked materials.
3. Stay away from windows and glass dividers. Move toward the centre of the
building as soon as possible.
4. Remain on the floor you are on until otherwise instructed. You are safer inside
the building than outside on the street.
5. While you are outside, stand away from buildings, trees, telephone and electric
wires.
After the Earthquake
1. Assemble in the area designated by your Floor Warden.
2. Listen for instructions from your Floor Warden, the emergency speaker system,
or from emergency personnel. You may be asked to help assess conditions, serve
as a runner, or organize an evacuation.
3. Do not use the elevators. Elevators will automatically descend to the main floor
and open their doors. Stay in the elevator lobby.
4. Do not use the telephones. Switchboards, especially those of police, hospitals
and other emergency centres, will be jammed immediately following an
earthquake. Use a radio to obtain information from your local radio station.
5. Be careful when moving about. Collapses can occur without warning and there
may be dangers from gas leaks, electric wiring or broken glass.
6. Be prepared for possible aftershocks.

Every bomb threat or threatening call should be taken seriously. (Although most
bomb threats or threatening calls turn out to be nothing but vicious pranks, at the
time they occur, they can never be regarded as unimportant.) If you receive a bomb
threat or threatening phone call:
1. Remain Calm.
2. Never transfer the call or assume the threat is a hoax. Do not argue or ridicule
the caller.
3. Record details of the call as outlined on "Threatening Call Form", if available.
(Since most of these calls come through general numbers, your internal
Facilities Co-ordinator has only provided these forms to specific areas).
4. Immediately report the call to your manager, internal Facilities Co-ordinator and
to Building Security.
