Gain a deep understanding of the components of a Fire Safety Plan and how to apply it effectively in your building. Learn how to conduct regular reviews, maximize its effectiveness, and ensure your team is prepared to respond confidently during emergencies.

Objectives:

• Identify the mandatory components of a Fire Safety Plan as required by Section 2.8 of the Ontario Fire Code.
• Develop strategies for regular plan reviews and updates to reflect building changes.
• Design training protocols to ensure staff can execute emergency procedures confidently

Focus on the most critical sections of the Ontario Fire Code—Parts 2, 6, and 7. This module breaks down key requirements related to fire prevention, maintenance of life safety systems, and emergency planning, helping operators stay compliant and reduce risk.

Objectives:

• Interpret and apply specific requirements from Part 2 (Fire Safety), Part 6 (Fire Protection Equipment), and Part 7 (Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance).
• Identify life safety system maintenance cycles to ensure continuous regulatory compliance.
• Analyze building operations to proactively mitigate fire prevention risks.

Learn how to properly document inspections, maintenance activities, fire drills, and incidents. This module emphasizes best practices for organizing and retaining records to support audits, legal reviews, and due diligence efforts.

Objectives:

• Standardize the recording of fire drills, system tests, and maintenance activities to meet Office of the Fire Marshal standards.
• Implement an organized filing system that ensures records are “readily available” for fire department inspections.
• Execute documentation practices that serve as legal evidence of due diligence.

Understand the ITM requirements for life safety systems and how to structure inspections in a cost-effective manner. From fire alarms to extinguishers, this module provides practical strategies to ensure systems are reliable and compliant.

Objectives:

• Categorize ITM tasks by frequency (daily, monthly, annual) for fire alarms, sprinklers, and portable extinguishers.
• Evaluate service provider reports to ensure all deficiencies are identified and corrected.
• Structure ITM schedules to maximize system reliability while controlling operational costs.

Explore the benefits of implementing tailored fire safety programs and policies at the property level. Develop tools such as hot work permits, fire watch protocols, and staff training plans that integrate seamlessly with your building’s operations.

Objectives:

• Draft building-specific policies, including Hot Work Permits and Fire Watch protocols.
• Integrate fire safety training into standard onboarding and operational workflows.
• Customise safety tools that address unique property risks, such as high-rise logistics or vulnerable occupant needs

Take your fire safety management to the next level by understanding the legal responsibilities of building operators. Through real-world case studies, this module highlights how due diligence can protect your organization and improve safety outcomes.

Objectives:

• Define the legal “Owner” responsibilities and potential liabilities under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act (FPPA).
• Apply lessons from case law to identify common compliance pitfalls and “reasonable care” standards.
• Mitigate organizational risk through proactive hazard identification and corrective action.

Establish a structured audit cycle to assess and enhance your fire safety efforts. Learn how to conduct operator-led inspections, identify compliance gaps, and implement corrective actions that drive long-term improvement.

Objectives:

• Perform internal “mock inspections” to identify compliance gaps before official fire service audits.
• Establish a feedback loop to track the completion of corrective actions and maintenance repairs.
• Develop a Long-Term Fire Safety Strategy that evolves with updated regulations and building aging.
