A fire safety plan is a vital step in taking the proper procedures to keeping your building safe in the event of an emergency.
Some “form” of a fire safety plan is required for almost all buildings in Ontario, and a copy of that plan is required to be provided to the fire service and on site; typically through a fire safety plan box.
This plan provides the building Owners, Managers, Staff and Occupants with a detailed understanding of the life safety systems installed and how they function. The plan also lists the maintenance, testing and inspection schedules of the buildings life safety systems for the building operations team. In fact, your fire safety plan assigns roles and responsibilities to everyone in the building, not just building staff.
