What is a Fire Safety Plan?
A Fire Safety Plan is required by the Ontario Building Code (OBC), specifically section 2.8 of Ontario Regulation 213/07, which is part of the Ontario Fire Protection and Prevention Act and has been amended.
This plan is designed to ensure occupant safety in the event of a fire, facilitate the effective use of fire safety features in the building, and minimize the risk of fires. Additionally, the plan serves as an audit of the building's resources and outlines the maintenance required by the OBC. In case of an emergency, the plan will be accessible to firefighters and provide them with floor plans and other relevant building and tenant information.
The Fire Safety plan encompasses fire prevention, evacuation, and emergency response.
