OBJECTIVES OF THE FIRE SAFETY PLAN
The objectives of the Fire Safety Plan are achieved through the appointment of a Fire
Safety Director.
a) To establish a systematic method of a safe and orderly evacuation of any area of building in
the case of fire or emergency.
b) To prevent the occurrence of fire by the control of fire hazards in the building. c) To maintain
the building facilities provided for the safety of occupants:
c) The British Columbia Fire Code Regulations requires that all emergency systems and equipment
be maintained and tested in accordance with Parts 6 and 7 of the Regulations.
d) It is the responsibility of the owner to arrange for the necessary maintenance and testing of the
emergency systems and equipment in order to ensure they are in good working order at all
times.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION
To establish a systematic method of safe and orderly evacuation of a building, or an area of a
building, by and of its occupants, in case of fire or other emergency. To facilitate the evacuation
of this premises the following fire safety plan must contain evacuation instructions that all
appropriate persons are trained in.
TRAINING
To provide a Manual upon which training classes, handouts and fire drills will be based. With the
exceptions of some lists, tables and charts, this Manual is not intended to be relied upon during an
emergency because of the explicit nature of its instructions. However, it is intended to be utilized
as a training aid, prior to an emergency occurring, so that procedures are second nature.
The
explicit instructions are to ensure that the intent of the procedures will not be misinterpreted.
FIRE PREVENTION
In their day-to-day routines, the building occupants shall be aware of potential fire hazards. Some
are as follows:
•
Accumulation of combustible material, rubbish or flammable liquids in unapproved areas.
•
Dangerous ignition sources, i.e. worn extension cords, oily rags, overheating equipment.
•
Defective exit lights or inadequate lighting in public corridors and stairwells.
•
Defective fire or exit doors (includes self-closing hardware). Doors should not be wedged open
under any condition.
•
Obstructed exit routes.
•
Obstructed/defective/inoperative firefighting equipment.
