Property Management Office

Building Management office is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Our

office is located on the 30th floor, Suite 3050. Access to the Management Office is provided via

elevator Bank No. 3 labeled 25-35. Building Management utilizes Workspeed at the U. S. Steel

Tower, an Internet-based application through which you can create and look up any building

service request; such as lighting, temperature, janitorial and plumbing requests. This system has

streamlined the service request process; providing better communication and accelerated response

times. It also allows tenants to track work progress. The telephone number for the Building

Services Department is 412-553-8800. Our Security staff at the Upper Lobby Command Center will

answer incoming calls after normal business hours. Please feel free to call or visit with any problems

or questions regarding operation of the building.

Building Access

Security access cards are required to enter the UL and elevator area to the tenant floors. This system

is in place 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Anytime the UL is accessed, you will be required to present

your card at the upper lobby turnstiles to gain entry. The turnstiles use proximity reader technology

with the reader located in the top front panel on the right hand side. The ID card is read on entry

allowing passage to authorized personnel.

We ask that your ID be visible to allow easier spot checks when requested by security, and strongly

recommend they be worn while in the building. The lower lobby, concourse and parking levels do

not require cards for access. However, the concourse level entrance to the loading dock will require a

card for access. For more information on Building Access, see Section 5.

Holidays

The building will observe the following holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence

Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Please notify the Building Management

office if your office will be open on any of the above-mentioned holidays.


2 - 3

Lighting System

Lights are computer controlled and, unless specified differently in your lease, are turned on from 8:00

a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. These time periods are the building standard operating

times. Standing overtime-lighting times can be programmed at the tenant’s request. If you would

like to know more about scheduling overtime lighting, see Section 3.

Air Conditioning / Heating

Perimeter window offices are heated & cooled by a conventional two-pipe induction system.

Induction units located under the exterior windows serve the three modules (approximately 13 feet)

measured from the outside window wall. There should be one thermostat controlling up to four

induction units in each perimeter office. The interior zone air supply is distributed through an

overhead VAV system. If adjustments to the temperature in this zone are necessary please initiate a

tenant request in the Workspeed system.

Air conditioning or heating is provided during building standard operating times of 8:00 am to 6:00

p.m., Monday through Friday or per your Lease Agreement. In order to provide greater service and

efficiency, we have adopted an after-hours HVAC request system. To find out more about requests

for after-hours HVAC see Section 3.

Property Removal

Any material leaving the dock or through lobbies must be accompanied by a properly authorized and

executed "Property Removal Slip". Forms can be obtained by contacting the management office at

412-553-8800.


2 - 4

Loading Dock Access

All freight deliveries are to be made via the loading dock facility located on 7th Avenue. Scheduled

routine small deliveries may be made between 6:00 am and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Large deliveries (large items or large quantity) may be made after 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday

or any time on weekends. All large deliveries must be scheduled with the Building Management

office at least 24 hours prior to delivery. All deliveries made outside of the normal loading dock

operating times must be coordinated through the Building Management office. Small hand carried

deliveries are not permitted use of the loading dock (i.e., messenger services, etc.).

Please notify your delivery company of the building requirements, as noted in the Moving Section, in

advance to avoid any unnecessary delays.

All delivery vehicles are limited to 1-hour maximum at the loading dock unless prior arrangements

have been made through the Building Management office. Violators may be subject to towing or

have future access denied.

The dock area is closed from 12:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. and will not accept deliveries unless scheduled

prior with the management office.

The dock officer at the bottom of the dock ramp will verify driver's license of all vehicle operators

entering the dock. Failure to produce a valid driver's license or ID will prevent entry to the dock.

All vehicles on the dock must leave keys with officer in case of emergency. Vehicles may be shifted

if necessary.

Freight Elevator & Tenant Delivery

U. S. Steel Tower has four freight elevators located off the loading dock and service corridors on

each floor. During normal business hours, two of the four elevators will automatically respond to

corridor call buttons for shipments and deliveries. The largest of these service elevators is staffed

with an operator from the hours of 7:30 am through 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. This

elevator may be contacted to respond for pickup by dialing extension 8868 on the house phone

located in the service corridor on each floor or by dialing 412-553-8868 from your office. Each

elevator is equipped with an emergency intercom system for instant communications with the

Security Command Center.

Scheduling for after-hour use of the freight elevators is handled through the Building Management

office. All deliveries, except hand-carried packages, must be transported on the freight elevators. No

mail carts or four-wheeled dollies are allowed in the passenger elevators. Scheduling for the use of

freight elevators is also required for move-ins and move-outs. After-hour freight elevator use

requires an elevator operator. The elevator operator is currently $45.00 per hour, with a 2-hour

minimum.


2 - 5

No pallets or crates are to be left in the service corridors, building common areas or on the

loading dock. Leaving crates is a violation of the fire code and the responsible tenant will be held

accountable. Please have your vendors remove any pallets from the building after delivery.

Passenger Elevators

All passenger elevators load from the Upper Lobby. Each bank of elevators consists of 8 cars

servicing approximately 10-12 floors. In the event that an elevator malfunctions with passengers in

it, remember to remain calm and press the “Push To Call” button to activate the emergency intercom

system. Building security will make contact with the individuals in the elevator immediately. This

emergency communication console is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are three

resident Schindler Elevator mechanics that work solely at the U. S. Steel Tower between the hours of

7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. After normal office hours, Schindler Elevator

maintains 24-hour emergency assistance. In the event of an emergency, day or evening, an elevator

mechanic will restore the car to service as quickly as possible.

In the unlikely event of a power failure, two elevators in each elevator bank, including two freight

cars, will operate on the building's emergency generator system. These two cars can service all the

floors in their bank. The remaining cars will be returned to the Upper Lobby, one at a time, to

discharge any passengers.

Emergency Stairwell Exits

There are three emergency stairwells, running the full height of the building. The access doors to

these stairwells on each floor are marked STAIR 1, 2, or 3 or EMERGENCY EXIT 1, 2 or 3. It is

important to know the location of each stairwell. Stairwells 1 and 2 terminate in the Lower Lobby.

Stairwell 3 terminates outside of the building facing Grant Street. In the event of a fire, the stairwell

doors must remain closed to prevent smoke from entering the stairwell and to control air drafts.

All stairwells are accessible from each floor. The stairwell door locks are designed so that in normal

operation you may enter the stairwell, but you may not gain access from the stairwell onto any floor

for security reasons. The only exception is on multi-tenant floors. Stairwells 1 and 2 are unlocked

from the stair side on these floors, as they do not present a security risk. Every floor automatically

unlocks from the stairwell side when any fire alarm device is activated in the building. This will

allow individuals to regain access onto these floors if it becomes necessary to do so. There are

emergency telephones located on every third floor in each stairwell that will permit communication

with Security personnel in the event that a person becomes accidentally locked in a stairwell during

non-emergency times.

There are seven (7) emergency stairwells that rise from the P-3 Parking Garage Level (Red Level)

through the Concourse Level. Four (4) of these emergency exits discharge out onto street level. All

stairwell doors are marked EMERGENCY EXIT. It is important to know the locations of these

stairwells. Please refer to the floor plans for the P-1, P-2, P-3, and Concourse level exit access

located at the end of this section.

Emergency Fire Protection Equipment

The building is equipped with a sophisticated life safety system that provides both passive and active

fire protection:

The building is constructed with a fire-resistant material and structural integrity is

provided by liquid-filled columns on the outside of the building and protected steel on

the inside.

All floors are monitored by smoke detectors to provide early warning in the event of

fire.

All fans are provided with smoke detectors that close dampers and shut fans off to

prevent smoke spread in the event of fire.

All smoke detectors and alarm pull stations are wired directly to a central monitoring

station to notify the City of Pittsburgh and generate a full fire department response in

the event of activation.

All areas below ground are sprinklered as well as monitored with detection systems.

Floors 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 31, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39,

40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, and

62 are also fully sprinklered. Additional floors are scheduled to be sprinklered in

the near future.

There are three fire stairwells extending the entire height of the building that are

accessible from each floor.

The building is equipped with a paging system that covers each floor and can be used

to instruct and direct individuals in an emergency.

A floor warden program is in place to provide a reservoir of personnel to supplement

building security and services in an emergency.

An on-going fire prevention and inspection program is conducted under the direction

of the building's Life Safety Director and Security Director.

Fire Drills / Evacuation Drills

Fire drills are scheduled twice a year. Management varies the type of drill that is performed each

time. Details are communicated to the tenant contact prior to the drills. The City of Pittsburgh Fire

Department, Pittsburgh Police and Pittsburgh E.M.S. participate in all fire drill exercises.

Semi-Annual Full Power Electrical Shutdown

Twice per year the building conducts a full electrical power shutdown in order to test all fire and life

safety systems. The test is conducted on weekends. During this time the building is shut down to all

traffic. Tenants are notified in advance.


2 - 7

Janitorial Service

Your office, public restrooms and corridors will be cleaned five nights each week, Sunday through

Thursday from 9:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. This includes all normal cleaning such as dusting open

surfaces, trashcans, vacuuming traffic areas, etc. Should you have a special cleaning request please

issue a tenant request through Workspeed. For additional janitorial services available to the tenant

see Section 3, Building Services Available to Tenant.

Waste Disposal

Normal office waste removal from desk-side wastebaskets occurs nightly when the offices are

cleaned. Extra trash or boxes that are not in regular wastebaskets should be marked "TRASH" and

boxes not for trash should be marked "DO NOT REMOVE" so that our Housekeeping staff will be

certain as to the disposal of the material. Under no circumstances is trash to be placed in the public

corridors or service corridors. If there is an excessive amount of waste to be removed, a hamper

should be requested through the Workspeed system. Excessive trash, by definition, is any quantity of

trash, which will not fit into normal office trash receptacles. The removal and disposal of excessive

quantities of trash and pallets will be at the tenant's expense. Pallets and crates must be removed by

the delivery companies.

The U. S. Steel Tower implemented a recycling program for mixed office paper, bottles, cans and

cardboard. The program involves the use of two trash receptacles, one for wet waste and one for

recyclable paper. Cardboard will be picked up by housekeeping once it is in the "broken down" state.

(Note: Large amounts of cardboard boxes not broken down will be removed at additional cost

to the tenant.) It should be separate from wet or recycled paper. Both containers are emptied on a

nightly basis by our housekeeping department. Every effort to adhere to this system is most

appreciated, as it will result in preservation of our natural resources.

which is payable by the tenant. All contractors must submit valid insurance information to Building

Management prior to working at U. S. Steel Tower.


2 - 10

Window and Grid Systems

Due to the size of the U. S. Steel Tower floor plan, we have a window numbering system to help us

service you more efficiently. Each window has a number in the lower left hand corner of the window

pocket. They are numbered 1, 1A, 2, 2A, etc. Please note your window number in the detailed

location field when requesting services through the Workspeed system, i.e.: light out, HVAC

complaints, etc. Also helpful is to identify if the request is interior or perimeter (at window).

Graphics and Signage

All tenant entry signage will be building standard and must be ordered through the Management

office. Non-building standard signage may be installed with prior approval from the Building

Management office. No signs are permitted on the exterior of the building, doors, windows or lobby

areas without prior written approval from the Building Management office. An order form for entry

signage has been provided in Section 8 of this manual. Please allow approximately 2 weeks for

delivery.

Keys

At least one week prior to move-in, the Tenant should contact the Building Management office and

specify the number of keys required for company personnel.

Lost and Found

Items that are found on the premises are returned to the Upper Lobby Security Command Center.

Contact the Upper Lobby Security Command Center at 412-553-8838 for information regarding any

lost or found items.

Retail Areas

Retail spaces servicing the building and public are located on the Concourse level, Lower Lobby and

Upper Lobby.

Mail Service

The U. S. Steel Tower has its own branch of the U. S. Post Office, located on the Concourse Level,

near the loading dock. In addition, there is a mail chute located in the main corridor of all tenant

floors for your convenience.

Beginning at 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, a mail pickup run is made by a Security Officer via

the service elevators. The Security Officer begins at the top of the building and works down stopping

on each floor and checking the service areas for outgoing mail deposited by each tenant. Once a

complete run has been made, the mail is delivered to the U. S. Steel Tower branch office of the U. S.

Post Office. At approximately 5:45 p.m., a second mail run is performed in the same manner as the


2 - 11

first. It is important to note that the mail must be ready for the last run by 5:45 p.m. or it may not make the

out-going postal truck, which leaves the building at 6:30 p.m. There is also a mailbox located in the Lower

Lobby telephone area. Its final pick-up is 6:30 p.m.

Insurance

Each tenant is required by lease to maintain its own property and liability insurance. Please ensure

that a copy of your Certificate of Insurance is forwarded to the Building Management office and that

the certificate is kept current. If you have any questions regarding insurance requirements contact the

Building Management office.

Window Blinds

Blinds should be kept down and at an angle to block out the sun and minimize the heat load during

the summer months. This will result in more efficient and uniform air conditioning.

Courier Services

UPS and Federal Express provide drop boxes in the Lower Lobby Telephone area within the U. S.

Steel Tower. These drop boxes contain the required paper work (forms, airbills, etc.) necessary to

use their services. Drop off boxes are not serviced on weekends.

Canvassing, soliciting or peddling in the U. S. Steel Tower is prohibited and each tenant's

cooperation is needed to prevent such activities. Please inform building security of any infraction to

this policy.

This system is in place 24 hours per day 7 days per week. Anytime the UL is accessed, you

will be required to present your card at the upper lobby turnstiles to gain entry. The

turnstiles use proximity reader technology with the reader located in the top front panel on

the right hand side. The ID card is read on entry allowing passage to authorized personnel.

Please do not place any other proximity cards near the reader while scanning your Building

ID card. This will confuse the reader and will usually result in access being denied.

We ask that your ID be visible to allow easier spot checks when requested by security, and

strongly recommend they be worn while in the building. The lower lobby, concourse and

parking levels do not require cards for access. However, the concourse level entrance to the

loading dock will require a card for access.

Visitor Access

Visitor check-in stations are located in the Upper Lobby to register all visitors and

personnel who do not have building photo ID badges. Lines are designated to handle pre-

registered visitors, unscheduled visitors and deliveries/messengers.

The pre-registered/scheduled visitors are processed using the “WORKSPEED” program

available to all tenants who have access to the Internet. It will allow express check-in at

the UL provided the visitor was previously entered and scheduled in the system by the

tenant. Please inform your visitor that you have or will pre-register them so they can save

time during check-in and have identification ready for verification. The management

office will not accept phone calls to register visitors. This is a secure procedure and

must be initiated by the tenant.

Any visitor leaving the building will not have to re-register when they re-enter the

building as long as they are still in possession of their paper pass received for that day.

All unscheduled/unanticipated visitors will be received at the UL visitor station in the

designated line. Each visitor will be required to present photo ID (drivers license,

passport, etc). The ID will be checked and the person will be electronically logged in as a

visitor. A call will be made to the main tenant office number for authorization to allow

entry. The person giving authorization will be recorded in the system by Security.


5-2

Any visitors escorted by an authorized cardholder will be issued a paper pass for the day.

They still must stop at the visitor desk.

All unannounced deliveries will be received at the LL visitor station in the designated

line. Each delivery person will be required to present photo ID (drivers license, passport,

etc). The ID will be scanned using equipment that verifies and electronically logs the

person in the system as a delivery. A call will be made to the tenant office number.

Security will ask for authorization to allow entry. A search of packages may also be

conducted.

Misplaced cards/ forgotten cards

Anyone entering the building that is a cardholder and may have misplaced or forgotten

their card, can access the building by checking in at the visitor area in the UL. A security

terminal is set up for this purpose. The area is marked as “Cardholders Needing

Assistance”. This terminal checks the security database to verify a cardholder. After

showing proper identification, the cardholder will be given a temporary visitor badge for

the day and allowed entry.

Garage security

Any garage leaseholder will not require check-in by security to enter the garage. The

officers at the entrances to the garage are instructed to ask for building photo ID cards for

anyone taking a ticket. If a ticket taker shows their building ID card they can pass

through without being further delayed. All ticket takers without Building photo ID will be

required to present drivers license for verification. Anyone not producing a valid license

will not be allowed entry to the garage. Driver’s license scanners are utilized to verify

valid I.D. and to log entry. No other information is logged.

New Cards/ New Hires

Complete the form entitled Access Card Request Form under the forms section to add or

delete any personnel from the security database. The form must be signed by an

authorized tenant contact. The form can be taken to the Badging Office or emailed to

[email protected] The Badging Office is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.

until 1 p.m. Tenant contacts should call the Security Access Administrator at 412-553-

8875 to schedule an appointment to have a photo taken and badge issued outside of the

office hours. To cover the cost of ID cards and security card administration labor, all

cards will be charged to the tenant company at $10.00 each.

Replacement cards will be processed with the same form as above. There is a fee of

$10.00 dollars to replace a previously issued, damaged, or lost badge. The listed

company will be responsible for the replacement cost. Please immediately report any lost

mailto:[email protected]


5-3

cards to the Security Administrator at 412-553-8875. He/she will de-activate the card

and will arrange for a new one to be processed. To report missing or terminated badges

after hours, please contact the Security Command Center.

The form discussed above can be used for indicating deletions also. If there is a list of

personnel who must be deleted, the form can be used as a cover sheet and a list attached.

Again it must be signed by the authorized tenant contact before any person is deleted

from the system. We recommend the tenant review their employee security list on a

frequent basis and inform the Security or Management office so the database is as up to

date as possible. Periodically a roster will be sent to each tenant for review. Any deleted

employee cards can be destroyed by the tenant, or returned to security.

Do not bend, or cut the card in any way. The card has imbedded code information to

allow the system to read and identify the card. Cards are never to be shared.

Security Procedures for Project Contractors:

Following is the security procedure for project contractors working in the U. S. Steel Tower:

All contractors working in the U. S. Steel Tower will be issued badges that can be kept

and used each day until project completion; at which time all badges should be turned

back in to security.

All contractors should enter through the loading dock and check in with the guard. The

guard will record their badge number, date and time in. Badges must be displayed at all

times while on the property and when entering the dock.

Please note: If the contractor does not have a badge, he will be directed to enter

through the lower lobby and check in at the lower lobby security desk to receive a

temporary badge and be logged in.

Contractors should enter the building via the loading dock ramp; following the

designated pedestrian path and proceed via freight elevator to their work destination. At

the end of the day contractors should exit via the loading dock, using the designated

pedestrian path.

Building Facts

GENERAL BACKGROUND

The U.S. Steel Tower in Pittsburgh is one of the largest office buildings on the east coast. It

was built in the late 1960's by United States Steel Corporation, as their company's headquarters.

In addition to U.S. Steel Corporation, one of the largest of the building's 50-plus tenants,

other major tenants include UPMC; PNC; Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott;

PricewaterHouseCoopers; Edgar Snyder & Associates; Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance

Company, Merrill Lynch and U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.

During a typical workday, the population of the building is between 9,000 and 10,000

people.

The U.S. Steel Tower is managed by the real estate management firm Winthrop

Management LP and leased by CB Richard Ellis.

SOME NOTEWORTHY FEATURES

Railroad Tunnel -- A Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel under the building site was relocated and

rebuilt as an isolated enclosed trestle structure in order to excavate the foundation. Pittsburgh's

Light Rail Transit system now runs through the tunnel and the Steel Plaza subway station is

connected to the building's concourse level.

Supporting Columns -- The 64-story structure is triangular in shape with 18 exposed supporting

steel columns, 6 on each side, standing out 3 feet from the building wall. A rooftop, steel space-

truss system helps stiffen the structural frame and helps restrain thermal expansion/contraction of

the exposed exterior columns.

Core & Office Areas -- The structure's core is an equilateral triangle with each side measuring 162

feet. Around the core on each floor are three rectangular office area each 221 feet long by 45 ½ feet

wide.. Each area is approximately 12,500 rentable square feet of column-free space in each

rectangular section.

Facade -- Exterior walls are made of USS COR-TEN steel with horizontally pivoted stainless steel

window frames. The vertical mullions have a 5.5-inch depth and frame the 6-foot-high by 2-foot-

wide windows and the spandrel under the windows. The panel area between the vertical lines of

windows is 2 feet wide by 32 feet high. Each window and adjacent panel measures 4 feet, 4 inches,

which corresponds to the interior office module.

7-3


Lighting System -- Central switching of all lights and 100 percent under floor ducting eliminates

the need for wiring in office partitions. Lobby lighting is programmed and automatically controlled

(taking seasonal variations into account) to produce appropriate light levels at all times of the day.

Electrical Supply -- Electrical energy is transmitted throughout the building at high voltage

(11,500 volts) and transformed to a lower voltage at frequent selected locations.

Automation of Services -- Mechanical, electrical and many office service functions are controlled

by a central operation and control system. Data recording systems are included to study the

operating characteristics of the building systems. The center operates everything electrical from air

conditioning to fire alarm control and light switching.

Air-Conditioning -- A thermostatically controlled, variable-volume system provides temperature

regulation in interior offices areas. Perimeter offices are equipped with an induction system which

allows each office to have it’s own thermostatic control.

History

Pittsburgh began as a military outpost because of the strategic importance of the area where the

three rivers converge. The last fort to stand at this site was Fort Pitt, built in 1758 and named after

British Prime Minister William Pitt.

The abundance of natural resources in the rolling hills of Pittsburgh combined with accessible river

transportation forged the city into an industrial powerhouse. Following World War II, the

devastation that a century of unchecked industrialization caused on the city was evident in

blackened skies and polluted rivers. Public and private leaders banded together to clean up the area

in a $500 million urban renewal program now known as Renaissance I. A similar urban renewal

program, dubbed Renaissance II, started in the late 1970's. This program resulted in the addition of

nine million square feet of new or rehabilitated office space, revitalized inner-city neighborhoods

and an upgraded infrastructure.

Housing

The housing stock in Pittsburgh is best characterized by value and variety. The median cost of a

home is roughly 25 percent less than the national price, and everything from victorians to

contemporaries are available. City neighborhoods are often ethnic and suburban areas are within a

short commute of downtown.

Cost of Living

7-7


In addition to low housing costs, the Pittsburgh region boasts an affordable lifestyle. From car

insurance to theater tickets, the dollar goes further than many other major metropolitan regions.

Transportation

The average commute is about one hour round trip and half that if you live within city limits.

Public transportation is safe and readily accessible.

The $700 million Greater Pittsburgh International Airport continues to open up national and

international travel to and from the region. PIT serves over 15 major airlines and several regional

jet services offering nonstop flights to more than 118 destinations.

Health Care

One of Pittsburgh's growth industries is health care, and the beneficiaries are the region's residents.

More than 50 hospitals are located in the region, some of which are centers for nationally

recognized medical education and research. Pittsburgh also is the world's leading center for organ

transplantations.

Safety

According to FBI statistics, Pittsburgh is the safest city of its size in the United States and is safer

than many smaller cities. The annual crime rate in Pittsburgh is about half the national average.

Education

The public school systems in the Pittsburgh region have received numerous national awards and

recognitions. In addition, quality private and parochial schools are plentiful. Advanced education

is anchored by internationally renowned Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University, and the

University of Pittsburgh. More than 30 colleges and universities are located in the region and

strong community college systems provide inexpensive education on both a credit and non-credit

basis.

Recreation

Pittsburgh's four seasons and topography of hills, rivers and lakes combine for year-round

recreational activities. Golfing, fishing, skiing, spelunking, hiking, camping, white water rafting,

boating and hunting are readily available; often within a few minutes drive. Spectator sports

include the championship winning Penguins (hockey), Pirates (baseball), and Steelers (football) as

well as the Pitt Panthers, Duquesne Dukes and other college teams.

Arts & Entertainment

Pittsburgh's cultural community offers both quantity and quality, with many of the region's

performing arts groups and museums boasting international acclaim. The region also is a popular

stop on the rock, pop jazz and country western concert circuits.

Emergency Plan

Emergency Plan

Emergency Personnel

Director of Security

The Fire/Life Safety Coordinator and the Director of Security are responsible for the effective

implementation of the Fire Evacuation Plan and actions taken by the Building's security officers

prior to the arrival of the Pittsburgh Fire Department. The Fire/Life Safety Coordinator should

assist the Fire Fighter in charge in briefing as to seriousness, location, and type of fire while

explaining actions taken prior to the arrival of the Fire Department.

The Fire/Life Safety Coordinator’s primary responsibility is to coordinate and implement an

effective evacuation of the Building's tenants in case of a serious fire or other situations that might

require evacuation. Further responsibility includes the preparation, monitoring, and implementation

(with the approval and assistance of the Pittsburgh Fire Department) of a training program for all

members of the security staff.

Floor Wardens

The Tenant Floor Wardens are responsible for following strict orders of the Fire/Life Safety

Coordinator to implement in an orderly manner an approved evacuation plan during an actual fire

or smoke situation. The Floor Warden is appointed by the Tenant Contact representing each firm

occupying each floor of the Building. If your firm occupies more than one floor, the proper number

of Floor Wardens should be assigned to accommodate the size of the company. Those individuals

should be present at all times while the Building is occupied. The Wardens must be familiar with

the building evacuation plan, floor layout, and location and use of fire equipment.

Property Manager

In the event of a fire, the Property Manager will proceed to the Upper Lobby Command Center to

coordinate building services with the various trades, the Security Department and the Pittsburgh

Bureau of Fire.

Building Engineering Manager

The Engineer Manager will report to the Upper Lobby Command Center to assist the Property

Manager and direct engineering personnel.


9-2

Chief Electrician

The Chief Electrician will report to the Upper Lobby Command Center to coordinate electrical

services with the Property Manager, Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire, and Director Of Security.

Construction Coordinator

The Construction Coordinator will report to the Upper Lobby Command Center and assemble all

available building maintenance personnel for assignment by the Property Manager.

Elevator Maintenance Personnel

All Elevator Maintenance personnel will report to the Upper Lobby Command Center, if practical,

for coordination of elevator services.

Plan of Action

In recent years, the term "security" has been accorded new emphasis, as it affects all aspects of our

daily living. In order to keep pace with the hazards of our times and to offer a secure environment,

concerned office property managers and owners have found it necessary to initiate certain

protective measures.

When most people are confronted by an emergency, inspiration is seldom a substitute for

forethought. However, you should realize that these Emergency Procedures are only an operational

guide or tool to be effectively implemented by the Property Manager, staff, Wardens and the Tenant

contact in combination with a vital personal ingredient - COMMON SENSE.

The successful execution of the Emergency Procedures will depend upon the degree of confidence,

cooperation and coordination mutually achieved by the Tenant Contact, Floor Warden, their fellow

employees and the Property Manager and building employees.

In that regard, each Tenant Contact must manifest an unselfish responsibility toward the common

good, i.e., the safety of all occupants within the U.S. Steel Tower. This can be achieved if each

company will:

- Assign responsible personnel to function as Floor Wardens and Alternate Wardens.

- Insist that each Warden and Alternate read and understand the Emergency Procedure and

Evacuation Plan in their entirety.

- Assure that applicable portions of the Emergency Procedure plan are disseminated to each

of the employees.


9-3

- Allow all Wardens and Alternates to participate in periodic training sessions, so that they

are equipped to perform specialized emergency assignments.

- Enthusiastically support the overall objectives of the Building's Emergency Procedures.

Each company is encouraged to include specific emergency procedures applicable only to their

individual operations, i.e., procedures to safeguard monies, negotiable instruments, original

contracts, etc.

An emergency can occur at any time and can become a disaster if the facility does not prepare for it.

Comprehensive pre-planning is the key and will pay off in saving lives and reducing property

damage or loss.

Evacuations

The most important asset of the facility is people, not only the employees but any visitors, vendors,

customers, contractors, or others. It is good practice to have all visitors sign in when entering the

facility and include the name of the person they are visiting. In case of an emergency, this sign-in

sheet will be invaluable in identifying who is in the facility other than employees.

Key elements of the evacuation plan are as follows:

- Evacuation Routes: Each department or area must plan the route to be used to vacate the

building in case of a fire. Primary and secondary routes (in case the primary is blocked)

must be designated. Maps should be prepared showing the evacuation route, and these

maps should be posted where visitors can see them. The evacuation map should also list a

primary and secondary accumulation point where occupants should gather to ensure that

everyone has been accounted for and to pass on information about the emergency.

- Become acquainted with the Floor Wardens and Alternates on your floor. They are the

people who are trained for emergencies here in the U.S. Steel Tower. If you would like a

list of Floor Wardens or wish to become one, please contact the Director of Security 412-

4) If an all-clear announcement is given, all individuals may return to their normal

work conditions.


9-9

Fire Warden Training Program

In emergency situations, an immediately available resource of personnel is essential to supplement

the normal complement of Building Service and Security personnel. Following the theory that

persons best capable of performing the supplementary service are persons possessing knowledge of

the building and having mutual interests and concerns, the "Floor Warden System" was devised. It

is believed that this system, wherein the various department heads of all tenants designate certain

employees to serve on a volunteer basis as Floor Wardens and alternates, is a prudent, expeditious

and efficient way of providing for the welfare and safety of all building occupants. The principal

objective of the system is to minimize injury and/or death in the event of an emergency involving

fire, explosives or natural disaster.

Floor Warden personnel function under the direction of the Security Department. An ongoing

training program is conducted by the Director Of Security pertinent to the Building Search Plan,

pedestrian traffic control in the event of evacuation, as well as other aspects of crowd control, and

the proper methods of extinguishing minor fires, including the actual use of hand-held

extinguishers.

Fire Protection Systems

The following is a list of conditions that exist within U.S. Steel Tower to provide both passive and

active fire protection:

1. The building is constructed with a fire-resistant material and

structural integrity is provided by liquid-filled columns on the

outside of the building and protected steel on the inside.

2. All building exhaust fans are equipped with smoke detectors that

close dampers and shut fans off to prevent smoke spread in the event

of fire.

3. The building is equipped with a public address system that permits

communication with a selected floor or floors as well as a broadcast

service throughout the building.

4. There are three fire stairwells extending the entire height of the

building that are accessible from each floor. In stairwells 1 and 2

there are standpipes that run the length of the building and are

accessible to the Fire Department if necessary on each landing.


9-10

5. All public areas are monitored by smoke detectors to provide early

warning in the event of fire. In addition, there are four fire hose

cabinets and seven portable fire extinguishers located on each floor.

There are three fire alarm pull stations on each floor, which are

located by each emergency stairwell.

6. All smoke detectors and alarm pull stations are wired directly to the

City fire alarm circuit and generate a full fire department response in

the event of activation as well as the security desk.

7. In the service corridor on each floor, there are phones which are

connected to the building's emergency circuits and will therefore

continue to operate in the event that the building must go to

emergency power.

8. Sound powered phones are located in the mail room connected to

each service corridor. These phones would allow communications

in the event of a complete power loss, including emergency power,

within the building.

9. All security officers, engineers, electricians and elevator

maintenance personnel are equipped with two-way radios which will

transmit throughout the entire building and assist in communications

during any emergency. Within each fire stairwell, there are

emergency telephones located on every third floor that will permit

communication with security personnel in the event of an

emergency.

10. All areas below ground are sprinklered as well as monitored with

detection systems. It is now building policy that as tenant floors are

abated, they are equipped with sprinklers. As of April 2009, the

entire 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 21, 22, 28, 31, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 43,

44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, and

62nd floors have been fully sprinklered. Supply valves to the

sprinklers are monitored electronically so that if a valve were shut

off, a notification would be transmitted to the Upper Lobby

Command Center (which is manned 24-hours per day) where it

would be investigated immediately.

11. All elevators are equipped with a "firemen's return" feature, which

will automatically return elevators to the Upper Lobby on the

activation of any fire alarm device within the affected elevator bank.


9-11

12. The building emergency generators are protected by a CO2 fire

suppression system, which is activated in the event of a fire within

the immediate area of the emergency generator room.

13. In order to minimize the risk of fire during construction, a hot work

permit system has been devised to monitor any hot work activities

within the building.

14. Whenever any welding or burning is undertaken within the building,

a trained security officer equipped with a fire extinguisher is present

to monitor these procedures.

15. Certain areas in the building (for example, tenant areas with

interconnecting stairways) are equipped with automatic fire doors,

which close when a fire alarm device has been activated. These

areas are also sprinklered.

16. Each electrical closet and elevator mechanical room is equipped with

rate-of-rise heat detectors.

17. U.S. Steel Tower is patrolled after hours by security officers who

check for possible fire, smoke, or sources of ignition such as coffee

pots, heaters, etc.

18. The building provides a full-time Director of Security; whose

purpose is to perform building inspections and oversee the Floor

Warden program. Specifically, these programs include:

Fire Inspections

Fire inspections are conducted on a weekly basis on Sundays and randomly. These inspections

include activating pull stations and smoke detectors and checking fire bells, P.A. speakers,

emergency phones, elevator service and emergency communications. Floor-by-floor inspections

are performed, checking for adverse electrical conditions, unsafe storage conditions, obstructed

egress paths and exits, hazardous conditions, safety violations and visual inspection of various fire

protection devices. Annual maintenance tags on fire protection equipment are also inspected. All

violations or unsafe conditions are documented and addressed. Unsafe conditions within public

areas of the building are repaired as soon as possible by building personnel. Any violations which

are found within tenant space are reported to the tenant via letter and include corrective action

which is to be taken.

Fire Drills


9-12

Fire drills are scheduled on a semi-annual basis. The fire drill involves the evacuation of every

floor to an assigned staging area at one of the three emergency stairwells. The City of Pittsburgh

Fire Department participates in all fire drill exercises.

Life Safety

A life/safety video has been produced which is specific to U.S. Steel Tower. Its purpose is to

familiarize all building occupants with the fire and medical emergency procedures within the

building. It includes emergency phone numbers and is accompanied by a booklet which reinforces

all of this information. It is available for viewing by calling the U.S. Steel Tower Director of

Security at 412-553-8871.

Medical Emergencies

Should you ever encounter the need for emergency medical assistance, the following steps must be

implemented to assure proper response by the City of Pittsburgh Paramedics and U.S. Steel Tower

Security.

1. Call 9-1-1 and state the emergency to the paramedic dispatcher. Give the reason

why you called, your company name and the floor where the emergency is located.

Do not forget to inform the paramedic dispatch to utilize the loading dock entrance

to the U.S. Steel Tower located on 7th Avenue.

2. Call U.S. Steel Tower Security at 412-553-8838 and state the name of your

company, the floor and the condition of the victim. Also inform the Security Officer

whether the paramedics have been notified.

3. Have someone respond to the freight elevators in the service area and wait for the

paramedics to arrive. This person will direct the emergency personnel to the victim.

4. If trained to do so, attempt to administer first aid to the victim.

5. If the sick or injured person is to be sent to the hospital, try to send a friend or co-

worker along to comfort the person until a relative arrives.


9-13

Bomb Threats

Bombing and the threat of bombing have created a need for self-protection to cope with the

increasingly violent activities of people who represent segments of unrest in our society. The

protection of life and property is a responsibility that cannot be relegated solely to law enforcement.

The U.S. Steel Tower Security Department, with the cooperation of building occupants, must be

prepared to take measures to provide for protection of the occupants of U.S. Steel Tower.

There are two primary reasons why bomb threat calls are made:

1. The caller has knowledge of bomb placement and wishes to minimize personal injury or

property damage.

2. The caller wants to create an atmosphere of anxiety for the purpose of disrupting normal

activities.

In most instances, the second reason applies. However, every threat received must be regarded

seriously.

A. When a Bomb Threat is Received

1. The recipient of the call should keep the caller on the line as long as

possible, ask him to repeat the message and make a written record of every

word spoken. See attachment.

2. If the caller does not indicate the location of the bomb or the time of possible

detonation, the recipient should ask for this information.

3. Inform the caller that the building is occupied and the detonation of a bomb

could result in death or serious injury to many innocent people.

4. Pay particular attention to peculiar background noises such as motors

running, background music, and any other noise which may provide a clue

as to the location of the caller.

5. Listen closely to the voice, determining gender, voice quality (calm,

excited), accents and speech impediments. Immediately after the caller

hangs up, the recipient should report the call to the U.S. Steel Tower

Building Security personnel, at 412-553-8838. See Bomb Threat Checklist,

attached.

6. The threat will be evaluated pursuant to established procedures. Building

occupants will be notified promptly if evacuation or other action is


9-14

indicated.

B. Notification

1. The Director Of Security or his representative will contact the Pittsburgh

Police Bomb Squad at 9-1-1 and inform them that a bomb threat was

received and a search is being conducted.

2. The Director Of Security or his representative will immediately notify USX

Corporate Security Department and the Property Manager of the

circumstances of the incident.

3. The Property Manager will determine if notifying tenant contacts and Floor

Wardens on tenant occupied floors is necessary, if the Floor Warden is not

available, the Alternate Floor Warden will be called.

a. Telephone or fax notification will be performed by the Property

Manager's secretary, the Security Department's secretary, and the

Building Services clerical staff.

b. Floor Wardens will be requested to quietly conduct a search and to

report back with their findings to the person who contacted them.

c. When the reports from all floors have been received, the Property

Manager will inform the Director Of Security.

4. The results of the search will be reviewed by the Property Manager and the

Director Of Security for a decision with respect to evacuation or other

additional action.

5. Employees will be notified to evacuate if reasons for evacuation are

discovered.

C. Search Responsibilities

1. Floor Wardens will search the office areas assigned to them.

2. Security Officers will search the public areas, including halls, toilet facilities,

service areas, electrical closets, and stairways.

3. Areas to be searched include, but are not limited to:


9-15

a. Behind stairways

b. All ceiling areas, particularly disturbed ceiling tiles

c. Access doors

d. Crawl space in restrooms and areas used as access to plumbing

fixtures and electrical fixtures

e. Cabinets - fire and storage

f. Construction areas

g. Canteen areas

h. Trash receptacles

i. Mail rooms

j. Garage areas

D. Unusual or suspicious objects detected will be referred to the Director Of Security

who will consult with the Pittsburgh Police Bomb Squad.

Suspected Bomb - Safety Precautions

The safety precautions enumerated below are designed to acquaint you with the dangers inherent in

the search, discovery and handling of suspected bombs.

While some of the following safety precautions may seem elementary, do not dismiss them as

unimportant nor take them for granted because adequate knowledge of these precautionary

provisions may save your life, the lives of your fellow employees and tenants, and the lives of the

individual customers and visitors who frequent the building.

- Do not use radio equipment to transmit messages.

- Do not use cellular phones.

- Do not change the lighting conditions (turning switches on/off).

- Do not smoke.


9-16

- Do not accept the contents of any container as bonafide, simply because it was delivered by

routine means.

- Do not accept a container's markings and/or appearance as sole evidence of their contents,

identification and legitimacy.

- Do not touch a suspected bomb.

- Do not shake, shock or jar a suspected bomb.

- Do not cover a suspected bomb.

- Do not carry a suspected bomb.

- Do not assume that a suspected bomb is a specific (high-explosive or incendiary) type.

- Do not open a suspicious container or object.

- Do not cut a string, cord or wire on a suspicious container or object.

- Do not cut or remove the wrapper on a suspicious container.

- Do not move the latch or hook on the cover of a suspicious container or object.

- Do not raise or remove the cover of a suspicious container.

- Do not change the position of a suspicious container or bottle.

- Do not place a suspicious container or object into water.

Explosions

If an explosion occurs, report the explosion to the U.S. Steel Tower Security at 412-553-8838. Be

prepared to give the Security Officer answering the call the following information:

- Your name, location and telephone number

- Your company's name

- The exact location of the explosion

- The cause of the explosion


9-17

- Any reasons you have to believe that the explosion was caused by a bomb

- Extent of casualties and types of injuries

- Whether the explosion has caused a fire, if so, the location of the fire

The Security Officer will immediately contact the Fire and Police Departments, as well as

dispatching emergency personnel to the scene.

You should follow the evacuation procedures outlined in the sub-section called EVACUATIONS if

it becomes necessary.

Civil Disturbances

Upon receiving notification that a civil disturbance threatens the building or your offices, contact

the Security Staff at 412-553-8838 and give the following information:

- Exact location of the demonstrators

- Approximate number of demonstrators

- Demonstrators' current activity

- Your name

- Time at which the demonstration began

Notify your employees and visitors about the situation. Contact your assistants and assign them the

following specific emergency duties for the safety and protection of your personnel and company

assets:

- Lock all doors except the main entrance door, i.e., office doors, equipment rooms,

storerooms, mailrooms, desks, file cabinets, vaults, etc., to protect company assets,

employees and visitors.

- Instruct all employees to avoid personal contact with the demonstrators; try not to

make any comments or statements to further anger the demonstrators.

- Instruct all employees and visitors to avoid leaving the building, unless there is no

danger that they will be harmed by the demonstrators. Warn them that all elevator

service will be reduced, or even cut off during the emergency to prevent the

demonstrators from further access.

- Advise all employees and visitors to avoid walking through the lobby areas while

the demonstrators present a threat.

If the demonstrators have gained access into the building and are on your floor, you should do the

following:


9-18

- Immediately contact the U.S. Steel Tower Security staff at 412-553-8838, your

employees and their visitors. Advise them of the change in status of the emergency.

Warn them that their movements within the building will be impeded because the

passenger elevators will probably be turned off to prevent further infiltration.

- Assign an individual to lock the main entrance door. Tell them to allow only

authorized personnel to enter or leave.

- Inform all employees that if the demonstrators access their office area, they should

make notes as to what areas or rooms were occupied by the demonstrators.

When the demonstrators leave, or are removed by the police, and the civil disturbance has subsided

and if your offices were affected, you should do the following:

- Immediately contact the U.S. Steel Tower Security staff at 412-553-8838 and give

them a list of areas that were occupied.

- Initiate a quick search of your area checking for items that are unusual or foreign to

the normal environment.

Inform all of your co-workers and their visitors to be alert for any unattended and

suspicious items such as knapsacks, bags, or packages. If a suspicious item is

found, they should not touch, jar, disturb, or cover it.

Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies

Electrical Power Outage

The U.S. Steel Tower is equipped with two emergency generators which are capable of operating

certain building systems during a power outage. These systems include all fire and security alarms

as well as life safety systems, limited emergency lighting, and two elevators in each bank of

elevators. All elevators will be lowered to the Upper Lobby and the doors will open. If an outage is

of short duration, it should cause little concern. If it is of longer duration, you may desire to leave

the building. If so, you could utilize the two elevators in each bank which are still in service or the

emergency stairs.

Tornadoes or Funnel Clouds

In most cases, advance warning in the event of a tornado is not possible. Therefore, if a tornado is

sighted approaching the building, notify the U.S. Steel Tower Security staff at 412-553-8838 and

begin moving your people toward the core area of the building. In the event of a tornado, the

greatest danger will be that of flying glass and objects; therefore, attempt to close all perimeter

office doors and locate the areas with the maximum number of walls between you and the exterior

of the building.


9-19

Elevators

In the event you are in an elevator which stops between floors or if the doors will not open, do not

attempt to force the doors open. Push the "Emergency Alarm Button" and wait for the call to be

answered. It will ring automatically at the Upper Lobby Command Center. A Security Officer will

immediately respond, and advise you of the nature of the problem. Elevator repair personnel will

be summoned to assist you.

The elevators are equipped with numerous safety devices which prevent them from falling under

emergency conditions. Under no circumstances should you attempt to exit a car except through the

doors which have opened level with the floor. Do not attempt to climb out and jump to a floor

below should the doors open between floors.

In the event of a power interruption to the building, the elevators will be automatically lowered to

the ground level, one at a time, and the doors will open.

Fire Prevention

Fire prevention is the responsibility of everyone working in or visiting the U.S. Steel Tower.

Unfortunately, however, there are some careless individuals who do not fully appreciate the need

for a fire prevention program. Consequently, successful administration of a fire prevention

program rests with those dedicated individuals who practice fire prevention every day. Very few

fires occur when an effective program is enforced.

Every fire requires an initial heat source, an initial fuel source, and something to bring them

together. That "something" nearly always has a human component bringing heat and fuel together.

The three components (heat, fuel, and human error) are central to nearly all fires and can be used as

a framework for thinking about fire prevention.

It is important to remember that prevention can occur through successful action on the heat source,

the fuel, or the behavior that brings them together. No one line of attack is clearly preferable to the

other, and success is most likely to come if all three components are kept away from each other at

all times.

Changing people's behavior toward fire prevention occurs through education and training.

Brochures, video tapes and group meetings can reach small motivated groups which may change

the way others view fire prevention. People can be educated and motivated if approached in the

right way. Addressing people effectively may involve nothing more than emphasizing what to do

rather than what not to do.

Remember, most building fires are started by heat sources and ignitible materials that are brought

into the building, not built into it. The building's occupants will have numerous opportunities to


9-20

reduce fire risks through prevention, and they should be urged to do so.

Fire Prevention Tips

1) If you smoke, observe smoking regulations.

2) Appliances, such as coffee makers, should have approval from building management and

should be turned off when not in use. Automatic shut-off equipment is preferable.

3) Portable heaters are not allowed in the building.

4) Do not use multiple plug connectors or extension cords unless approved by the building

management.

5) Do not place electrical cords under carpets or chair pads.

6) Never use a light gauge extension cord for a heavy duty appliance.

7) Keep your work area and building corridors neat and uncluttered.

8) Do not use coffee mug warmers or space heaters.

Emergency Communications

There are three types of emergency communications utilized throughout the U.S. Steel Tower. The

first and the most highly utilized is the telephone. A primary emergency telephone number, 412-

553-8838, has been assigned for use throughout the building. This enables all emergency calls to

be received at the Upper Lobby Command Center. In the event this line is busy, there is an

automatic roll-over to one of the other security telephone lines. There are emergency telephones

located in each of the service corridors directly across from the service elevators. One can reach the

Upper Lobby Command Center by simply dialing ext. 8838 from one of these telephones.

The second form of emergency communications is the Life Safety Public Address System. This

public address system permits communications with a selected floor as well as broadcast service

throughout the entire building. It is controlled by the building Security Department and is tested

weekly for proper operation.

Finally, the building is equipped with an Emergency Assistance alarm system which is located

throughout the parking garage, subway tunnel and loading dock areas. The parking garage has

three locations on each floor, South - Center - North pillars, equipped with a mushroom head panic

switch. When this switch is depressed, an audible alarm is received and an LED remains lit at the

Upper Lobby Command Center, indicating the location that has been activated. The Upper Lobby


9-21

Command Center is manned 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Security Officer depresses the

appropriate LED station and transmits a verbal message to that location. The Security Shift

Supervisor will be notified and render assistance immediately.

Fire Exits

There are three stairwells, running the full height of the building, accessible from each floor, for use

in an emergency. The access doors to these stairwells on each floor are marked EMERGENCY

EXIT 1, 2, or 3. It is important to know the location of each stairwell. Stairwells 1 and 2 terminate

in the Lower Lobby. Stairwell 3 terminates outside of the building on Grant Street. In the event of

a fire, the stairwell doors must remain closed to prevent smoke from entering the stairwell and to

control air drafts.

Classification of Fire

There are three main classifications of fire, depending on the burning materials involved: "A", "B",

and "C". Class "A" fires involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood, cloth, paper or

rubber. The most common causes of Class "A" fires are open flames, smoking and matches,

spontaneous combustion, radiant heat from hot materials, and burning and welding. The most

effective method of extinguishing Class "A" fires is by cooling the fuel below its ignition

temperature. Water gives the greatest cooling effect and is the most desirable extinguishing agent

for Class "A" fires. Certain dry chemical extinguishers (those containing an ABC dry chemical)

will give a coating effect and retard combustion.

Class "B" fires involve flammable or combustible liquids, flammable gases or greases. The most

common causes of Class "B" fires are burning or welding, smoking and matches, open flames, and

radiant heat from hot materials. The most effective way of extinguishing Class "B" fires is by

smothering. The most effective agents for smothering a Class "B" fire are dry chemicals and

carbon dioxide. Both of these agents will give a smothering effect by eliminating access to the

supply of oxygen.

Class "C" fires involve energized electrical equipment. The causes of electrical fire are short circuit

faults, and arcs and sparks from damaged or defective components. Fires involving energized live

electrical equipment require the use of electrically nonconductive extinguishing agents. Types of

extinguishers recommended for Class "C" fire are carbon dioxide (preferred for delicate electrical

equipment) and dry chemical.

WATER SHOULD NOT BE USED ON FIRES INVOLVING COMBUSTIBLE METALS OR LIVE

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.

Properties of Portable Fire Extinguishers

Good fire protection requires an ample supply of hand-held fire extinguishers in good operating


9-22

condition at all times. This is assured through a systematic inspection and maintenance program

conducted by the Fire Safety Coordinator. Fire extinguishers are the first line of defense against

accidental fires. They have maximum effectiveness when used during the early stages of a fire.

Portable extinguishers are not a substitute for sprinkler systems, hose streams or other fire fighting

devices. They are first aid fire fighting devices with definite limitations, and judgement is vital in

their effective and proper use. At the present time we have three types of portable extinguishers in

the U.S. Steel Tower:

1. Unpainted stainless-steel shell - 2 1/2-gallon pressurized water (A)

2. Red with a large cone nozzle - carbon dioxide (B and C)

3. Red with a small metallic nozzle - dry chemical (A, B, and C)

2 1/2 Gallon Pressurized Water Extinguishers

Water extinguishers are not painted because their shells are stainless steel. Each water

extinguisher contains 2 1/2 gallons of water with air pressure of 100 p.s.i. The discharge

hose is equipped with a nozzle with a straight bore or fixed opening. The air pressure will

expel the water through the nozzle in a straight or solid stream with a range of 25 to 35 feet.

This extinguisher is to be used on Class "A" fires only. There are from 6 to 8 water

extinguishers located on each office floor.

Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers

Carbon dioxide extinguishers are generally of the 15 lb. size, hand held portable units.

These extinguishers may be used on any type of fire, but are most effective on electrical,

chemical, and flammable liquid fires. The carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are very

effective on electrical fires in as much as the carbon dioxide gas is non-conductive of

electric current. The nozzle is plastic and also non-conductive.

Care should be taken when using carbon dioxide extinguishers in confined spaces. Carbon

dioxide is an inert, non-poisonous gas, but when vaporized into the atmosphere it will

displace the oxygen in the air. The operator should not remain in a confined area after using

a carbon dioxide extinguisher. This extinguisher is to be used on Class "B" and "C" fires.

Dry Chemical Extinguishers

The dry chemical extinguishers are of the 17 lb. size, with a discharge range of

approximately 20 feet. These extinguishers are located primarily in the parking garage. Dry

chemical, or ABC extinguishers, can be used to extinguish fires classified as "A," "B," or

"C." When using a dry chemical extinguisher on a combustible liquid fire, care should be


9-23

taken in the application of the dry chemical. Initial application should begin at a distance

approximately 8 feet from the fire. This will avoid dispersing the fuel and increasing the

fire area. On a spill-type fire, a sweeping or side-to-side method of application should be

used to drive the fire away from the fire fighter.

Extra caution should be observed when combustible liquid fire involves metal. When

heated to the temperature of the combustible liquid, the metal may cause a flashback or re-

ignition of the fuel. For this reason, once the fire is out, don't turn your back on it.

When using a dry chemical extinguisher, another hazard to the operator is a reduction of

visibility due to the cloud of dry chemical in the air. If in an open area, try to keep any wind

or draft at your back to avoid this hazard. The dry chemical is non-conductive of electricity.

The operator should use caution to avoid contact between metal parts of the extinguisher,

shell, handle, nozzle, etc., and electrical circuits.

Proper Usage of Fire Extinguishers

You should receive proper training before using a fire extinguisher. Remember to use the

P-A-S-S system:

Section 10 CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this handbook is to provide the Tenant with the rules and regulations required for any renovations or

remodeling of the Tenant's lease space in the U. S. Steel Tower (the "Building"). Building Management ("Property

Management") provides these rules and regulations per the provision in your lease in an effort to ensure that Tenant

improvements are acceptable for the Building. These rules and regulations shall, therefore, be a part of the rules and

regulations included in the Tenant's Lease. The requirements are not intended to limit any obligation of the Tenant under its

lease with the Owner.

General Construction (CM) services, administered by Winthrop Management, are required on all projects. The services,

required to assist the Tenant in interpretation of and compliance with the rules and regulations, typically include review of

Tenant's plans and specifications, verification of evidence of pre-funding against loss (insurance's), verification of filing lien

waivers, monitoring construction operations and project closeout tasks. These services are provided on a fee basis payable by

the Tenant. The fee shall be presented to the Tenant when preliminary design documents are produced.

At no time shall the involvement of the Owner or Property Management or their respective employees, agents or contractors

be interpreted as releasing the responsibilities or liabilities of Tenant and its design professionals, contractors and

subcontractors. The rules and regulations are for the protection of the Owner's interest in the Building and are not to be

construed by Tenant as any warranty, representation or assurance by Owner or Property Management or their respective

representatives as to: the adequacy of design, the methods of construction or installation, compliance with codes, equipment

or materials employed in connection therewith, or as to any other matter whatsoever.

All tenants, contractors or their subcontractors providing services within the building shall be fully aware and comply with

the policies and procedures governing safety and health within the work place.

Submission and review by Property Management and the Property's consulting engineer of proposed and final plans and

specifications shall be for the purposes of assurance that the Owner's property is being modified in a manner wholly

satisfactory to Property Management and so that records of the Building spaces and utilities are properly maintained and

identified.

Tenant and all its representatives, including the design professionals and contractors, shall follow the rules and regulations

outlined herein throughout planning, design and construction.

The Owner or Property Management may revise these rules and regulations from time to time by notice to Tenant.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

Building Management hereby notifies contractor that asbestos is present in the U. S. Steel Tower, located at 600

Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219. It is the intent of Building Management to prevent inadvertent release of

asbestos containing materials (ACM) during maintenance, renovation or general operations, and to maintain the

building as free of asbestos contamination as possible. Therefore, your review and acknowledgment of the

information listed below is required.

Based on a physical survey by an independent testing organization, asbestos has been located in the building. The

main source of ACM is the fireproofing material present above the suspended ceiling. The fireproofing is composed

of between 5 - 20% chrysotile asbestos. It is consistent and in good overall condition. Test results are available for

review upon request. Since Building Management is committed to prevent inadvertent release of the ACM, we will

not permit any activities in this building, which may present health hazards to employees and/or tenants. Therefore,

your company and all employees must adhere to the following guidelines:

1. No access for normal routine building maintenance will occur on unabated floors in areas above the

suspended ceiling or areas showing exposed spray-on-fireproofing between the hours of 4:30 a.m. and 8:30

p.m. Sunday through Thursday, without express written consent.

For access in the above references areas during the O&M shift between 8:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m., the

following applies:

A. If the contractor, environmental consultant, or Building Management determines that work cannot

proceed without ACM disruption, the contractor must immediately cease all work and contact building

management. Work will not resume until written approval is again obtained.

B. If the contractor, environmental consultant, or Building Management determines that work will not

disrupt the ACM, the contractor will receive written approval to proceed. The following precautions

must be taken:

22

a. Access to work area must be controlled.

b. The air handling system must be shut off, or controlled, in the affected area.

c. Under no circumstances should you disturb any ACM. If inadvertent release of ACM occurs,

proceed immediately to notify security, the environmental consultant and building management.

d. Emergencies, non-routine building problems that occur will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Upon discovery of an emergency situation, vacate the area, if necessary, assess the problem and

immediately contact security to report the incident.

e. In the event of reasonable accidental damage to ACM by a contractor, additional clean-up costs

will be borne by Building Management. However, any intentional or large disturbances, including

repeated occurrences will result in the cost being paid by the contractor and/or termination of the

contractor's services.

I hereby acknowledge that I have read and understand, and agree to follow the above stated information. In

addition, I hereby understand and acknowledge the following:

1. I may be exposed to work areas containing ACM, and I understand and am aware of the dangers inherent in

the handling of disturbed asbestos, including but not limited to the fact that asbestos is a known carcinogen

and may cause cancer.

2. I agree to adhere to all rules and regulations pertaining to the handling and/or disposal of ACM, including

but not limited to OSHA, EPA, state and local rules and regulations.

3. The contractor warrants that all of its employees who shall have access to the work areas covered herein are

under written obligation to the contractor to adhere to the contract's guidelines hereunder. The contractor

may further require each employee given access to such work area herein to sign a copy of these guidelines

to be provided to Building Management prior to performance of such services.

4. This is not a contract for services between the parties. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to

obligate either party to negotiate with the other party for any contract or agreement, but rather a formed

means of notification.
