TITLE 19
FIRE/LIFE/SAFETY TRAINING MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS OF
OCCUPANCY.
Please be advised that under the provisions of section 3.09 and 3.10 of Title 19 of the California
Administrative Code, the Los Angeles City Fire Department requires that managers and Tenants of each
high rise building in the city, in cooperation with the Fire Department, establish, implement and maintain an
Emergency Pre-Fire Plan that will aid in the prevention of fire, explosion and panic in the building. All
Tenants MUST be trained within the first 14 days of occupancy.
This Fire Safety training is available on line @ www.rjwestmoretraining.com; please see your office
administrator for log on details. Participation is mandated by law, and tenants who refuse to comply are
subject to prosecution and penalties as set forth in the local codes and Title 19. If you have any further
questions please contact the Director of Security at 818-716-2795.
Also, under the Fire Department’s Plan regulations, each Tenant (as an employer) along with Building
Management share the responsibility for implementing this Pre-Fire Plan, instructing all occupants on the
procedures to be taken in the event of an emergency, including evacuation procedures. Documentation of
Occupant Instruction shall be maintained by the Office of the Building and available for Fire Department
Inspection.
It is each Tenant’s responsibility to notify the Office of the Building of new employees in your offices, and
immediately schedule Fire Life Safety Training. In addition, all high-rise building occupants must be
instructed annually on the procedures to be followed in the event of fire, earthquake, or other emergency.
Please contact the Office of the Building to schedule annual emergency training.

time employees who will be responsible to work with the Office of the Building, to maintain proper records
and assist in evacuation procedures of the building. Tenants who refuse to comply, may be cited for
violation of the State Fire Marshall’s Law. Such a citation, if issued, could constitute a fine of $1,000.00
