Why You Need a Fire Safety Plan

A Fire Safety Plan isn't just good practice: it's the law. Canada's National Fire Code requires buildings with an occupancy load of more than 30 persons have a documented fire safety plan. Any building with a fire alarm system also requires a fire safety plan. So do daycares, liquor-licensed establishments, high rise buildings, and many more building types and uses.

As a building owner, condo association, or property manager: if your fire safety plan doesn’t exist, or if it's out-of-date, you are at risk. Insurance claims can be denied. Your liability in the event of injury or loss will be difficult to defend. And, of course, the lack of a fire safety plan puts peoples lives at risk.
