Fire Safety Sheets and Guides
The fire safety of establishments receiving from the public and those receiving workers is essentially governed by the Construction and Housing Code, the Labour Code, and the resulting regulations. These standards are intended to reduce the likelihood of fire starting and, in the event of a fire starting, to limit its spread, to ensure the evacuation of people, and to facilitate the engagement of emergency services. They also contribute to the protection of property and can be supplemented by voluntary measures, particularly in cultural and cultural institutions, which present strong heritage issues.
This complex regulation requires special expertise. The purpose of the following sheets is to help operators best manage the safety of their facilities. They address fire safety stakeholders, administrative procedures, technical equipment and good management practices. They also incorporate operational forecasting measures essential to ensure the safeguarding of cultural property in the event of a disaster.
