Who is responsible for ensuring proper notification and safety precautions are taken when a fire protection system is out of service?

The Impairment Coordinator plays a crucial role in managing situations when a fire protection system is out of service. This individual is specifically trained to oversee the necessary protocols that ensure proper notification of affected personnel and the implementation of safety precautions to mitigate risks associated with the impairment.

When a fire protection system is impaired, it is essential that there is clear communication regarding the status of the system and that emergency plans are in place to protect occupants. The Impairment Coordinator is tasked with conducting assessments, coordinating notifications to the relevant parties, and ensuring that temporary measures are effectively put in place until the system is restored to full functionality.

Other roles, such as a Chief Fire Officer, Emergency Manager, or Building Supervisor, may have responsibilities that intersect with fire safety, but it is the Impairment Coordinator who is directly accountable for managing the specific challenges that arise when fire protection systems are not operational. This focused responsibility is key to maintaining safety and compliance during such periods of impairment.
