Building Manager Fire Safety
A well-designed fire safety plan will not only meet, or exceed, the prescriptive requirements of whatever act, code, ordinance/by-law, or industry standard regulations that you are duty bound to follow – it will also act as an opportunity to conduct risk assessments, take action to prevent, limit, or minimize the after effects of damages due to a fire-type event. Furthermore, a well-designed fire safety plan can also formulate part of an overall evacuation plan (for any number of scenarios), for your business only, or for a big building that has a multitude of businesses located inside it, of which you are one of them. Lastly, a sophisticated fire safety plan is a great jumping off point for reviewing safety procedures and developing a business continuing program in case of any emergency situation(s) arising.
