Reg. 33-19 has amended the Fire Code and addresses Cannabis and Fire Fighters elevators but also amends the frequency of fire drills required in Retirement Homes to monthly in addition to the annual drill based on an approved scenario that is observed by the inspector.\nInspection Orders-\nWhen issuing an inspection order under section 21 (1) the FPPA allows you to issue the order to the “owner and/or occupant”; but the reference to the “owner” in the FPPA does not reflect the expanded definition of the term “owner” found in the Fire Code and this should not be used to determine who you hold responsible for doing the work required. In cases when you wish work to be undertaken to address fire safety issues by the “owner” then efforts should be made to determine the legal owner of the premises. This is the information that will be entered into the “TO” line on the order and should be the same information entered onto the “served upon” line at the bottom of the order. It stands to reason that if you wish someone to undertake work that they should be served a copy of the paperwork clearly stating that\nTIP- once filled in, the “TO” line never changes on the order but the “served upon” line may. If you wish to serve a copy of that order to any other person after you have served the person you are holding responsible to do the work, such as directors, officers, or managers you may simply change the name entered into the “served upon line” to reflect those other persons but you do not change the “TO” line to include their names as you are not changing the party you are originally holding responsible to complete the work.\nWhen you are articulating in the order the action(s) required to address the fire safety issues, inspectors should not include wording in this part to “order” someone to obtain a building permit as part of the “actions required” in the inspection order; this is outside the scope of your authority as an inspector enforcing the Fire Code and FPPA. That particular authority rests with the Building Department as outlined under the Building Code Act. You may opt to include a “note” at the bottom of the order reminding the recipient they should contact the local building department to obtain any required permits before they undertake the work outlined in the order, the OFMEM template has included this already.\nThe most common order- 21 (1) (G)- to remedy a contravention of the Fire Code. Although there is no set prescribed wording for orders there is certain required content or “ a recipe” that would go towards supporting your under upon review. Whether you use a DBL APPENDIX or a single APPENDIX format, the “reasons for the order” are required as per FPPA Section 23. For orders that are being issued to address contraventions of the Fire Code it is not sufficient to simply state that building is in contravention of the Fire Code; that is already known as you have stipulated the FPPA Authority on the front of the order as “G”. What is required under this portion of the order, which is typically in Appendix A, is a description of what the contravention is and where the contravention exists. Then in APPENDIX B you would quote the applicable fire code reference and provide appropriate direction to alleviate the contravention. See example at bottom of article. For those who have computer programs that do not let you modify the APPENDIX A it doesn’t matter if the description and location of the contravention goes in APPENDIX B as long as the information is there somewhere in the order. The OFM forms are not prescribed which means you can format the information as you like as long as the key components of an inspection order are all there.\nInspection Orders and the word “rescind”. Although it can be frustrating for an inspector to have your order or part of your order rescinded this does not prevent you from addressing the fire safety issues.
