The Ontario Fire Code O. Reg 213/07 as amended requires a Fire Safety Plan (Division B Section 2.8) for many properties and businesses. The Ontario Fire Code requires every Fire Safety Plan to be reviewed and approved by the Chief Fire Official of your local Fire Department. The plan is required to be reviewed annually by the building owner and any changes made be submitted for review and approval, where necessary.
For a list of when a Fire Safety Plan is required, please review Ontario Fire Code O. Reg 213/07 as amended Division B Article 2.8.1.1.
We have provided a checklist that needs to be submitted with your Fire Safety Plan and your Firefighter Fire Safety Plan. Download and read the document carefully and ensure all applicable items for your building/business are filled out. Any items that are not required should be removed from the document. Additionally, ensure any Appendices that apply to your building/business are completed and submitted with your Fire Safety Plan.
