What is the door disarming procedure with an ABP?

• A. ABP will stand at their door
• B. Opposite door primary disarms their door
• C. Door primary crosses over and disarms ABP door
• D. Door primary returns to their door for callback

Answer: (C)

When coordinating with an ABP, the door operator should take control by crossing over to the ABP’s door and disarming that door. This centralizes the disarming action, preventing the ABP from operating or re-arming their own door and keeping evacuation coordination clear. While the ABP can continue assisting passengers at their door, the trained crew member ensures the door the ABP is at is in the safe, disarmed state. Standing at the ABP’s door, having the opposite door’s primary disarm its own door, or returning to their own door for a callback would create mixed signals and disrupt the flow of the evacuation.
