Specific Responsibilities for Malls:

• Maintain Egress: You must ensure that all kiosks, retail displays, and concession equipment are positioned according to the approved floor plan and do not obstruct the required egress width of the mall common area.
• Maintain Fire Protection Access: Placement of fixtures must not obstruct access to any fire protection equipment, including fire alarm pull stations, extinguishers, or standpipe connections.
• Lease Plans: You must maintain an up-to-date set of lease plans for the mall and make them available to the fire department. These plans must show tenant spaces, common areas, and all exits.
• Emergency Plan: Review and practice the mall’s emergency plan with all staff. Ensure all tenants and employees are aware of their responsibilities during a fire alarm or evacuation.
• Vehicle Displays: If displaying liquid- or gas-fueled vehicles, you must ensure their batteries are disconnected, fuel tanks are near-empty and locked, and a drip pan is placed underneath.
