Most any project/and certain occupancies will require a Fire Safety Plan that is on site for anyone working, visiting, living on site or responding to emergencies to reference in case of emergency.
It is a requirement of the National Fire Code (Alberta Edition) and a copy should be submitted to the Fire Department at the time of building permit application. The plan must be reviewed at least every 12 months to ensure consideration of any changes in use or building characteristics.
A copy of this plan must remain on site for access to anyone entering the premises. A fire safety plan for occupancies establishes minimum requirements that provide a reasonable degree of life safety from fire and similar emergencies.
Plans must comply with the Alberta Building Code, Alberta Fire Code and other applicable laws and regulations. Owner, Renters, Leasers, Contractors or those responsible for the site must post a copy and provide one for the Fire Department for review.
