Who must supervise the fire drill conducted by a Fire Drill Conductor?

The Fire Life Safety Director (FLS Director) is responsible for the overall safety operations within a building and is typically required to supervise fire drills. This role includes ensuring that the drill is conducted properly, evaluating the effectiveness of the fire drill, and addressing any issues that arise during the practice. The FLS Director coordinates with various stakeholders and is knowledgeable about fire safety procedures, ensuring comprehensive training and compliance with fire safety regulations.

While other roles within a building, such as the Fire Chief or Safety Officer, may have responsibilities related to fire safety, their involvement may not extend to the supervision of fire drills within a building context. The Building Owner has ownership responsibilities but is not necessarily involved in the direct oversight of operational fire safety procedures like fire drills. The FLS Director’s qualifications and expertise make them the most appropriate choice for supervising this critical safety training exercise.
