Ontario workplaces must follow these OFC requirements:
Many workplaces unknowingly fail these requirements. Training ensures workers understand what inspectors look for during building safety reviews.
Fire extinguishers must meet Ontario Fire Code requirements for placement, visibility, inspection, and maintenance based on workplace hazards.
Workers must understand when fire extinguishers can be used safely and how to operate them correctly using the P.A.S.S. method.
