Fire Safety Plans

What Is A Fire Safety PLan?

A Fire Safety Plan is a document which identifies and defines the procedures and responses that should be taken by building management and occupants in the event of a fire. Although anyone can develop fire safety plans, a working knowledge and familiarity with engineering and drafting concepts, fire safety systems and equipment installed in the building, as well as the ability to navigate Ontario Fire Code requirements and technical language is required to develop an effective plan that will be accepted by your region’s jurisdictional fire inspector.

WhEn Is A Fire Safety Plan Required?

Building classifications identified by fire code, such as section 2.8 in Ontario’s Fire Code (OFC), are required to have a Fire Safety Plan (FSP) that has been approved by fire prevention officials with jurisdiction in the area in which the building resides. These classifications are listed below. Your approved plan documents should be stored in a fire safety box in the building locations outlined by municipal bylaw, usually near the main entrance.
Our Fire Safety Plan services include conducting building audits to gather necessary information in preparing fire safety plans unique to your building, preparing fire safety plans with quality professional floor plan drawings to accompany them, and providing training to facility personnel on implementation of the fire safety plan and conducting fire drills when requested.
