What is the role of a Backup BSSR?
Backup BSSRs should be ready to step into the lead role any time the primary representative is unavailable. For this reason, backup BSSRs will attend orientation and training sessions offered to primary representatives. They will serve on the building safety and security team, assist in the development of building level emergency plans, and provide training and other services as needed to adequately prepare the building occupants for emergencies. The most significant distinction between the primary representative and a backup representative is that the primary representative is expected to lead the development of the building level planning and will be the first point of contact during an emergency situation.
