Fire Safety Plan Development, Training & Drills in Ontario
OFC Section 2.8 Compliant. New Plans, Updates, Staff Training & Fire Drills.
Most commercial, industrial, and multi-residential buildings in Ontario are legally required to have a current Fire Safety Plan under Section 2.8 of the Ontario Fire Code. An outdated, incomplete, or missing Fire Safety Plan is one of the most common compliance violations cited during Ontario Fire Marshal inspections.
