It is a National and Provincial Fire Code requirement that certain types of occupancies have in place an approved Fire Safety Plan.

Types of occupancies may include assembly halls, churches, schools, office buildings, manufacturing facilities and more. It is the requirement of the building owner to ensure that an approved fire plan is in place and continually updated to reflect any changes.

Requirements of a Fire Safety Plan are outlined in Section 2.8 of the Ontario Fire Code. We can help you develop a plan that meets these requirements and assist in getting them approved by the local fire authorities.

A typical plan includes a review of both building and people resources. Building resources outline the types of fire protection and life safety equipment in place and their locations. This would typically include fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, generators, special hazards, extinguishers, etc.

The plan will also outline the responsibilities of key personnel, fire drills, maintenance requirements of the building fire protection and building schematics.
