Total Safety Consulting - Turnkey Provider of Local Law 26 Requirements

Total Safety Consulting is a Turnkey Provider of Local Law 26 Requirements

New York City Local Law 26 will mandate that all commercial buildings over six stories tall implement an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) over and above current requirements.

Local Law 26 (LL26) was created in 2004 to address building emergency preparedness and response. The NYC DOB developed rules that apply to the facility itself, such as sprinkler systems and signage, which are to be implemented over a number of years.

The FDNY's role with respect to LL26 involves personal safety. FDNY-issued rules that require all office buildings taller than 75 feet to comply with new safety requirements. These requirements set forth the components of building-specific Emergency Action Plans and training so that building occupants are prepared to evacuate a building, shelter in place, or relocate within the building in an emergency.

Compliance dates are as early as April 1, 2006 for landmark building and building over 40 stories. The deadline is July 1, 2006 for buildings over 25 stories and September 1, 2006 for buildings over 6 stories.
