MANAGING YOUR WORKPLACE FIRE SAFETY & CODE COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
Accredited training for Health and Safety Professionals and JOHSC representatives.
About the Accredited Training Program
Developed and delivered for Employers, Chief Fire Wardens, Wardens, Health & Safety Staff, Risk & Compliance Managers, and more.
Accredited by the Institution of Fire Engineers Canada Branch to meet (and exceed) the requirements of Section 2.8 of the Ontario Fire Code.
This 3.5 Hour Certificate program was developed and is delivered by a team of NFPA-recognized Fire & Life Safety Educators with extensive experience in the management of fire safety programs across Canada.
The program involves interactive and engaging training and allows participants to successfully implement and manage a fire safety program for an employer in Ontario, and be able to implement the roles and responsibilities required of employers within the building’s or workplace’s approved fire safety plan.
Participants must achieve 75 percent in order to obtain the certification. Upon successful completion, a certificate with an IFE Canada seal will be issued.
The Ontario Fire Code requires all persons having roles and responsibilities within that fire safety plan, to be trained,
“prior” to being given any responsibilities.
Documentation of this training must be maintained at the building at all times as per the Ontario Fire Code.
The Program
“Employer Fire Warden Program”
Every workplace is to provide sufficient numbers of, and trained staff on the fire safety program for that workplace. This is a requirement of the Ontario Fire Code.
These “Supervisory Staff” members typically report to the Chief Fire Warden. This accredited training program will allow participants to develop the tools and foundation to successfully manage and implement your Fire Warden and workplace fire safety programs.
Training and development are vital components for fire code compliance. In fact, employers are required to train these staff members, before giving them any responsibilities. Proof of this training must be maintained at the building if requested by either Insurance Companies, the landlord, or the fire services.
This exciting certificate program is a ‘stamp of approval’ that a person responsible for fire safety in a building or workplace in Ontario can be used to show that the person has achieved a particular standard of excellence in their field of work.
