Fire Safety Plans

  • Fire safety planning and development is the cornerstone of proactive risk management and is outlined in Section 2.8 of the National Fire Code. Fire safety plans are building-specific documents that are developed in collaboration with fire prevention officers. They must be approved and be accessible to the Fire Department. Evacuation plans are schematic drawings of the building, signage, and instructions for the public. They must be posted in strategic public areas to facilitate the safe evacuation of the public and must address language, hearing, and visual impairments.

    Fire safety and evacuation planning is a practice that is often neglected during management and operational transitions. In most cases, fire safety plans require comprehensive amendments because they are outdated and are no longer compliant with the current fire code. Property owners and managers are mandated to ensure that their fire safety plans are approved according to the local authorities. They must be updated regularly in compliance with amended fire code standards, and their management representatives must receive the proper certified training to implement approved fire safety plans.

  • Fire Equipment Training is the specific instruction on the use of the following systems:

    • Fire Alarm
    • Emergency Power
    • Sprinkler Systems
    • Emergency Lighting
    • Alarm Testing
    • Fire Separations
    • Extinguishers
    • Fire Fighter’s Elevators
    • Monitoring Systems

     

    Fire Equipment Maintenance Training is the certified instruction on how to properly test, check, inspect and report on fire safety features integrated into a building. Training and continued development are often neglected at most properties, and pose a high risk for all stakeholders, owners as well as the public.

    In most cases, the building owner’s representatives have not had recent building-specific training in accordance with the most recent fire code. Property owners and managers are mandated by law to ensure that their representatives receive adequate, continuous certified training in accordance with legislation to mitigate risk, be prepared for emergencies, and to address legal responsibilities.

    FIRE LOG BOOK TRAINING

    All premises are required to maintain a Fire Log Book that summarizes all fire safety maintenance activities, procedures, tests and other activity. During an audit or compliance verification, your Fire Log Book will be the first thing that the authorities will want to review. You must be able to produce it complete and in good order.

    Priority Fire Equipment offers training on all components of a proper Fire Log Book to ensure continued, accurate logging of your building’s fire safety procedures, inspections and maintenance activity. Our training also provides you with details of current regulations regarding fire extinguishers, alarms, sprinkler systems, emergency lighting fire doors, fire drills and more.
