Fire Safety Plan

Fire safety is an important responsibility for everyone. The consequences of poor fire safety practices and lack of emergency planning are especially serious in properties with a large occupant load or where processes or quantities of stored materials would pose a serious threat to the community and environment.

The implementation of a Fire Safety Plan helps to assure effective utilization of life safety features in a building, to protect people from fire. The required Fire Safety Plan should be designed to suit the resources of each individual building or complex or buildings.

Emergency Planning is mandated by the Ontario Fire Code and the requirements within apply to, but not limited to, the following buildings containing:

assembly occupancy or care or detention occupancy,
residential occupancy where the occupant load exceeds 10,
business and personal services occupancy where the occupant load exceeds 300,
mercantile occupancy where the occupant load exceeds 300,
high hazard industrial occupancy where the occupant load exceeds 25,
medium hazard industrial occupancy where the occupant load exceeds 100, or
low hazard industrial occupancy where the occupant load exceeds 300.

The Milton Fire Department has created a guide which is intended to assist owners and managers of buildings to develop and implement effective Fire Safety Plans for their buildings.

If you are unsure whether your business or building requires a Fire Safety Plan or if you have any questions regarding Fire Safety Plans please call 905 878-9251 .
