Fire Safety Plan Templates
A Fire Safety Plan is required to be prepared (by law) for residential properties where the occupant load exceeds 10 persons. It is also required for assembly occupancies such as restaurants and bar establishments; for complete list of requirements please refer to Section 2.8 of the Ontario Fire Code available online. A Fire Safety Plan is required to be prepared by the building owner to identify the actions that should be taken by the occupants and building management (supervisory staff) in the event of a fire or similar emergency situation.
