Building Security: After Hour Access
Any tenant, visitor, vendor, etc. entering the building during non-regular building hours will be required to
sign in at the guard console upon entering the building and sign out when leaving the building. For
after-hours entry at the front door, you may use the card reader located between both east and west lobby
doors.
After-Hours Suite Entry
After normal building hours, only those employees with specially Programmed Cards may have
access to your suite floor. In these cases, the Access Cards will be programmed so that elevator
access to your floor will be granted. Use of the Access Card is not necessary when leaving your floor.
In addition to the Access Card System above, all persons entering the building after normal hours will
be required to sign in and out at the Security Console on the ground floor. This requirement is for
your safety. In this manner we will know who is in the building and where they are located in the
event of an emergency.
Visitors after hours – If your visitor is not with you when you sign in after hours, the Security Officer
will call to inform you that your guest is in the lobby. You will have to escort your guest to your suite.
Security Officers cannot open any suite doors for employees or visitors. Please make arrangements
with your own staff, to provide a suite key for after hours access.
Click here for an Access Card Request Form
Suite Security Check
Please be sure that the entrance(s) to your suite is locked before you leave at the end of your business day.
Our cleaning crew and security rover will lock all open suites, but it may be several hours before they
discover that your suite is unlocked.
Outside Tenant Vendors
The Office of the Building must be notified in the event an outside vendor will need access to a tenant’s
suite after business hours. This notification must be submitted in writing in order to give the management
staff ample time to advise security. A Certificate of Insurance must be on file in the Office of the Building for
vendors doing contracted work for the tenant (i.e. carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, etc.). Any work
involving alterations, additions, remodel, etc. must be pre-approved by the Landlord.

Access to the Garage
Vehicle access to the garage is by Key Card Access for monthly parking or by ticket for daily parkers or
visitors. Each tenant will be furnished a form titled Building Access Card Request Form and ABM Parking
Access Agreement (see copy of form in the Forms Section at the back of this Handbook) which is to be
completed indicating which personnel are authorized to park in the garage and which are authorized to enter
the suite after normal business hours. Those employees will then be issued Access Cards, which will be
individually programmed according to the instructions set forth on the above form, (i.e. some employees
may have access to the suite only while others may have access to the garage and also be authorized to
enter tenant’s suite after normal building hours).
IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TENANT TO ASSURE THE SAFE RETURN OF CARDS OF
EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE LEFT THE EMPLOY OF THE TENANT. There is a $30.00 non-refundable fee
for each Access Card.
NOTE: Access cards for new employees may be obtained through the Office of the Building of the Parking
Office by completing the Building Key Card Request Form and a Parking Access Agreement.
Instructions for Access Card Authorization and Use
A $30.00 activation fee is required for each Access Card and is non-refundable.
When new employees join your company and desire to park in the garage or have after-hours access to
your suite, a Parking Access Agreement and Building Key Card Request Form are required to be executed
for each new employee.
For parking access, card readers are located at the entrances of B-1 and P-1.
Simply swipe your card on the reader. The system will check your card number and raise the gate. NOTE:
You must use your card to enter and exit the garage. If you attempt to use your card for two entrances prior
to an exit (or vice versa) it will be rejected.
For building access after hours, the card reader is located at the Wilshire entrance. Upon entering the
building at Wilshire, guests should proceed to the security desk in the main lobby and sign in on the
appropriate form for authorized access.
When elevator card readers are activated, simply swipe your card on the card reader in the elevator cab and
press your floor button. Note: You will not be able to press any button other than he floor(s) you are

The loading dock area is reserved for incoming and outgoing deliveries only, and no personal vehicles will
be permitted to park in that area. Please advise all of your vendors who will be making deliveries to the
loading dock, that in order to avoid unnecessary congestion, they should not park a vehicle in the loading
dock if the delivery can be hand carried.
Important Note: If you are expecting a delivery of furniture or other large objects, please click see the
Moving Policy section of this Handbook. Employees and staff of Gateway L.A. are not permitted to sign for
any tenant deliveries. Tenants should arrange to receive all deliveries.

exiting, they will need to show their employee badge or company identification.
Major Deliveries/Removals

This is to ensure that a tenant gets priority over daily deliveries to the Building. These deliveries/removals
also require a Certificate of Insurance from the company doing the work be on file in the Office of the
Building. The Certificate of Insurance must name DOUGLAS EMMETT 1993, LLC and Douglas Emmett
Management, LLC as Certificate Holder and additional insured. Please contact the Office of the Building
for details.
Building Security: General Office Security
Security Checklist
For your own internal security and also for the security of the building, it is in your best interest to control the
number of keys issued. Only people needing after hour access should be issued a key.
The following is a list of general office security suggestions, which are offered to you as an aid in
establishing your internal security procedures:
Restrict office keys to those who actually need them.
Keep complete, up-to-date records of the distribution of all office keys.
Have adequate procedures for collecting keys prior to termination of employees.
Establish a rule that keys must not be left unguarded on desks or cabinets.
Require that filing cabinet keys be removed from locks and placed in a secure location after opening
cabinets.
Prevent unauthorized personnel from reporting a lost key and receiving a replacement.
A responsible person is in charge of issuing all keys.
Store keys systematically in a secured wall cabinet of either your own design or from a commercial
key control system.
Insist on identification from repairmen who come to work in your office.
Security Checklist (continued)
Clear all desks of important papers.
When working alone in the office at night, lock the front door to prevent anyone else from entering.
Keep the police, fire department, and building security telephone numbers posted.
Double check to see that all doors are securely locked before you leave.
Suspicious Persons
If you see suspicious or offensive persons in the building, please call the Office of the Building immediately.
If possible, make note of appearance, clothing, etc. to assist building security in locating them.
Please be aware of strangers in your Tenant areas and halls. Quite often a question such as “May I help
you locate someone?” is enough to deter a potential thief. Suspicious encounters of this type should be
reported to the Office of the Building immediately.
Building Security: Key and Lock Policy
Keys and Lock Changes
There is a charge per key for all key duplication orders. If you wish to have your locks changed, THIS
MUST BE DONE BY THE BUILDING LOCKSMITH. This is so the lock can be properly keyed within our
master key system. DO NOT HAVE ANY LOCKS ADDED OR CHANGED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN

EQUIPMENT OR LARGE OBJECTS WITHOUT THE ABOVE FORM BEING PRESENTED. Persons
attempting to remove any property without proper authorization from tenant will be referred back to
the tenant’s office.

of the Building or Security at once. The solicitor will be escorted out of the building and off the property.

Telephone Threat
When a bomb threat is made over the telephone, obtain the following information from the caller:
Exact location of the device
Time set for explosion
Description of the device
Reason the caller has placed the bomb
Exact words used by the caller
Keep this information as confidential as possible
Notify the Police Department. Call 911
Notify the Office of the Building at 310-826-2587
Once the Office of the Building has been notified of a bomb threat, it is our policy to advise your firm’s
manager or officer. It is up to the manager or officer to decide whether it is appropriate to evacuate the
office.
In the event that you are asked to evacuate the Building, move away from the Building to allow for the clear
passage of emergency personnel. Do not re-enter the Building until the Office of the Building or the Police or
Fire Department has given clearance.
Suspicious Packages or Mail Bombs
Letter bombs are usually sent through the mail addressed to a specific individual in the company, usually
disguised to look like some sort of gift or a small package. Letter bombs have the power to kill or maim
anyone close to them if they go off. Letter bombs are usually a large size manila envelope ¼” to ½” thick
and are fairly rigid. They have been mailed from cities or small towns in the United States, as well as from
foreign countries. They are usually mailed to a person by title, such as Chairman, President, Manager,
Security Officer, etc.
If a letter is suspected to be a letter bomb:
Clear everyone out of the area for at least 25 feet around it.
Notify the police at 911 and Building Management at 310-826-2587
DO NOT HANDLE IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEACTIVATE IT YOURSELF
Emergency Procedures: Civil Disturbance
Should a riot or civil disturbance start outside the Building, the security guards will immediately lock all
entrances to the building. The police will be notified. We will keep you informed.
If a disturbance should occur in the main lobby, all elevators will be turned off at the first floor and the police
will be summoned.
Emergency Procedures: Earthquake
Before an Earthquake
Plan your course of action before an earthquake occurs. Employees should establish an out of state
telephone contact and make sure family members can act independently for at least 72 hours.
Store essential emergency supplies such as food, water, first-aid kit, radio, and batteries. Enough
supplies should be stored to support every employee for a minimum of 72 hours.
Secure objects such as files, office equipment, bookshelves and other potentially dangerous objects.
Be familiar with your immediate work area and floor plan. This will help you react effectively when it
is necessary to find the closest and safest shelter point.
During an Earthquake
Get under a sturdy table or desk and hold on or move towards the center of the building. The building
core is the strongest part of the structure.
Keep your back to all glass objects if you cannot avoid them completely.
Be aware of falling debris. Cover your head as much as possible.
Do not panic. A clear mind will help you through the dilemma.
After the Earthquake
Remain calm and stay in your area (unless any emergency dictates otherwise).
Look for injured people and administer first aid where needed.
Barricade hazardous areas to prevent other persons from accessing a dangerous area.
Use telephones for emergencies only.
Be alert for after shocks. Their intensity can produce further damage. Respond to the after shock as
though it is the original earthquake.
Check your food and water supplies.
Building Security will attempt to contact tenants via the public address system to advise on building
and local conditions.
Evacuation
Normally, it is not recommended to evacuate a building after an earthquake. Outside one may
experience falling glass from the buildings.
However, if an evacuation is required, use the stairs. Do not use the elevators. Walk down at a
steady pace. Do not run.
If you are outside when an earthquake occurs
Immediately find the safest cover, perhaps an alcove, a doorway, a parking garage or a building.
Stay away from storefront windows. The primary danger is from falling debris, particularly glass.
Stay under cover as after shocks may cause further damage.
Emergency Procedures: Elevator Malfunction
In the event that an elevator stops with passengers in it, remember to remain calm. Pressing any
emergency button within the cab will alert the elevator company that the cab is malfunctioning, what cab
number it is, and what floor it is stuck on. The elevator company will continue two-way communication with
passengers until help arrives.
In the event of a power outage, elevators will continue to operate using our emergency power generator.
Should an outage occur, elevator lights will remain on, but the car will temporarily stop. Each elevator will
automatically return to the lobby where the doors will open and they will then be out of service.
All elevators function on a Fireman’s Return Systems, which automatically returns the elevators to the main
floor without stopping when smoke is detected on any floor. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, ELEVATORS
MUST NOT BE USED FOR EVACUATION. USE THE STAIRWELLS.
Emergency Procedures: Emergency Contacts
Emergencies:
Please advise the Office of the Building of the name and home/pager telphone numbers of the person(s)
designated for emergency contact. This information will be kept confidential and will only be used in the
event of an emergency. The Office of the Building would prefer to have at least two (2) designated
emergency contacts.

If you discover a fire, evacuate the premises, notify security, and call the Office of the Building. While
evacuating, activate one of the manual pull stations located at the entry to each stairwell and the elevator
lobby. This immediately notifies both security and the Fire Department. If the building’s fire safety system
detects a fire on your floor, the fire department will be notified immediately. Floor Wardens will be
responsible for directing occupants to safe refuge areas.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, PLEASE REMEMBER NOT TO USE ANY ELEVATORS.
ONLY USE STAIRWELLS AND FOLLOW ALL TRAINING GIVEN IN OUR FIRE/LIFE/SAFETY PROGRAM.
Emergency Public Address System
The building has an Emergency Public Address system on all floors. This system has the ability to contact
individual floors, as well as all floors at one time and is never used except in emergencies or fire/life safety
system testing.
Life Safety
You are required to assign a Floor Response Team. These are people who, in case of emergency (fire,
bomb threat, natural disaster, etc.), would be Floor Wardens, Assistant Floor Wardens, Searchers, and
Stairwell Monitors. These Tenant representatives should be individuals who are on the Premises during
regular working hours. Single Tenant floors will require a Warden to be appointed by the firm occupying that
floor. On a multi-tenant floor, each Tenant is responsible for having a Suite Warden and designating a
Response Team including a Floor Warden from the various Suites on that floor. Each warden will be fully
briefed on all emergency procedures, and will assist both Management personnel and City authorities in
directing fellow Tenants in emergency situations.
Please use the List of Fire Wardens, Deputy Wardens, Person Trained in CPR and First Aid to indicate your
representatives.
The basic duties for each of these personnel are as follows:
Floor Warden
The Floor Warden shall direct, enforce and have full charge of the evacuation for all personnel on his/her
assigned floor during an emergency. Designated Assistant Floor Wardens, a Searcher and Stairwell
Monitor or others that may be required will assist them in their duties. An orange vest will be provided and
should be worn by all Floor Wardens in the event of an Emergency.
Assistant Floor Warden
In cases where the Floor Warden is not present the Assistant Floor Warden will assume their duties and
assist the Floor Warden in an emergency.
Searcher
The Searcher will thoroughly search restrooms, lunchrooms, conference rooms, etc. for occupants unaware
of the emergency and direct them to the nearest safe exit, closing all doors behind them.
Assistants for Disabled
Assistants must be assigned for those in need of extra assistance in time of emergency. In an emergency,
the disabled individual and assistant will enter the stairwell and remain inside the stairwell door until help
arrives.
A list of these individuals must be submitted to the Office of the Building. This list must include those
individuals with any condition which would require assistance such as broken limbs, pregnancies, asthma,
wheelchair, crutches, etc. and must be updated as needed.
Stairwell Monitor
Stairwell Monitor
Stairwell Monitors are to verify the safety conditions of exit stairways and to help maintain such safe
conditions at all times. Place your hand on the exit door. IF THE EXIT DOOR IS HOT, DO NOT OPEN IT;
seek an alternate route. If it is NOT HOT, open door and allow evacuees to enter, closing the door behind
them. Once all occupants have evacuated the floor, close the door and proceed down five floors.
Emergency Procedures: Flooding
If possible, remove all desktop items and close file drawers to limit damage.
Building management will turn off the water source and shut down electrical power as required.
Emergency Procedures: Homeland Security Threats
Douglas Emmett recommends that each Tenant have an emergency action plan in place to help their
employees prepare for and react quickly to a regional emergency, including terrorist attacks. Click on the

Give Emergency Dispatcher the following information:
Your name
Building name and address
Floor number and location of emergency on floor
Any details of accident or illness
Do not move injured/ill person. Try to make them as comfortable as possible.
Whenever possible, have someone meet the emergency unit in the lobby.
Call the Building Management Office at 310-826-2587. Inform them you have called 911 and briefly
describe the nature of the emergency.
The emergency unit will be with you shortly and will administer necessary medical assistance.
Determine, if possible:
Name, address and age of injured/ill person
Nature of problem

Local doctor
The Management, Engineering and Security staff will do all we can to make the person comfortable while
awaiting the arrival of the medical rescue team. Although we assume no liability for our assistance, we
strongly encourage Tenants and employees to become familiar with First Aid and how and when to contact
emergency services.
Emergency Procedures: Power Failure
Remain calm and in place.
If possible, notify the Office of the Building. Dial 310-826-2587.
Turn on battery-powered radio to find out what is happening in area.
Unplug all electrical equipment, movie projectors, TV sets, computers, audiovisual equipment and turn
off light switches unless needed. When power returns it may be in a surge and blow out light bulbs
and other equipment.
Open window shades, as it will provide natural lighting.
If evacuation is necessary, use flashlights or light sticks to evacuate to your designated area.
Emergency Procedures: Severe Weather
When severe weather conditions become apparent, the U.S. Weather Bureau describes conditions by two
(2) classifications, a Watch or a Warning. This applies to the reporting of severe thunderstorms, the
approach of weather conditions favoring the formation of tornadoes, a hurricane condition, a winter storm
condition, etc. A Watch becomes effective when atmospheric conditions are right to produce the particular
weather phenomenon. A Warning means that the weather condition has been spotted and prompt action
must be taken for safety.
Except in very rare circumstances, the decision to evacuate the building based on the above weather
reports will not be made by Building Management, but rather by each Tenant Company. However, in the
event these conditions do exist, the following guidelines should be kept in mind:
Move away from outside windows. If the windows in your offices are supplied with blinds, close the
blinds (this will provide protection from broken glass).
Do not panic.
If evacuated, lock all desk drawers and take all items of value with you.
If evacuated, use a route that is in the building interior and stay away from large expanses of glass
and windows.
Use the stairwells rather than the elevators.
If evacuated, do not return to your office until advised to do so.
Emergency Procedures: State Fire Marshall’s Law
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.
You must contact the Director of Security within 14 days of your tenancy to make arrangements to attend
training. 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.
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

Alternate Suite Wardens need to be full 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 and/or six- (6) months’ imprisonment.
