What is a key responsibility of an Impairment Coordinator during a fire protection system impairment?

The key responsibility of an Impairment Coordinator during a fire protection system impairment is to provide adequate safety measures and notifications. This involves ensuring that all necessary precautions are taken to safeguard people and property when a fire protection system is out of service, such as notifying relevant personnel, establishing alternative safety measures, and ensuring clear communication regarding the impairment status.

The role requires a proactive approach to minimize risks during the impairment period. This includes assessing the potential hazards resulting from the impairment and implementing strategies to mitigate those risks, such as installing temporary fire protection measures or ensuring that fire watch personnel are assigned to monitor the area.

In contrast, conducting fire drills, training assistant helpers, and overseeing daily operations, while important in their own right, do not directly address the specific responsibilities tied to managing an impairment situation.
