Review Needs
When a Central Ontario fire safety plan needs review

Changed building use
Workplaces, public-facing buildings, commercial properties, accommodation sites, and managed facilities can change through staffing, tenants, programs, or access needs.
Seasonal patterns
Seasonal staffing, visitor volumes, accommodation schedules, event use, and changed hours can affect emergency procedures.
Building or system work
Renovations, fire alarm updates, mechanical work, tenant improvements, or altered exits can affect procedures.
Record gaps
