Readiness You Can Document

Prepared people save lives. We plan, conduct and document the drills, training and emergency plans that keep your occupants safe and your building in compliance.

Fire alarms, sprinklers and extinguishers protect the building. People are what make an emergency response work. When the alarm sounds, occupants and staff need to know where to go, who is in charge and what to do next.

The BK Systems team delivers fire and life safety programs that prepare your people for fire and non-fire emergencies. We run and record your drills, train your staff and emergency teams, and write the plans that tie it all together. Every visit is documented, so you have the records inspectors, insurers and accreditation surveyors ask for.

Drills That Build Muscle Memory

A drill is the only way to know your plan works before a real emergency tests it. Our team can schedule, conduct and observe your drills, then document every one for your records.

Fire DrillsOccupants practice safe, orderly sheltering in place, in-building relocation, partial evacuation or full evacuation, based on your building's plan.
Full Building Evacuation DrillsEvery occupant exits the building and reports to the designated assembly area.
In-Building Relocation DrillsOccupants move to a safer area inside the building, away from the simulated hazard.
Shelter-in-Place DrillsOccupants stay at or move to a protected location when leaving the building is the greater risk.
Stairwell Familiarization DrillsOccupants walk the exit stairs accessible from their floor, helping them become familiar with the available routes before an emergency occurs.
Emergency Preparedness ExercisesScenario-based drills for non-fire events such as severe weather, utility loss, hazardous materials or security threats.
Elopement Drills (healthcare)Staff practice locating a resident or patient who is not capable of self-preservation and has left the facility unsupervised.

Every drill includes

  • A scheduled date and time coordinated with building management
  • On-site observation by a trained representative
  • Written documentation for your logbook and compliance records
  • Feedback on response times, staff performance and areas to improve
