What must safety personnel located at exits be equipped with according to the Department of Buildings?

Safety personnel located at exits are required to have a radio and counting device to ensure effective communication and monitoring during an emergency. The radio enables personnel to stay in contact with other responders, coordinating efforts and relaying critical information to facilitate a safe evacuation. Having a counting device is equally important as it allows personnel to keep track of how many individuals have exited the building, which is vital for ensuring that everyone is accounted for during an emergency situation. This capability enhances safety by enabling a more organized and efficient evacuation process.
