2.8.2.6.(1)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that supervisory staff will not be familiar with fire emergency procedures and their duties in regard to a fire situation, which could lead to inappropriate actions.

This is to limit the probability that

• emergency responders will not be notified of a fire emergency,
• emergency responders will be delayed in carrying out their duties,
• designated supervisory staff will not be appointed and organized to respond to fire emergencies, and
• instructions, including schematic diagrams, describing the type, location and operation of building fire emergency systems will not be established.

This is to limit the probability of delays or ineffectiveness in conducting firefighting operations, which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to damage to the building.

This is to limit the probability that

• fire hazards will not be controlled, and
• building facilities, systems, equipment and devices will not be properly inspected or maintained.

This is to limit the probability of fire or the spread of fire, which could lead to damage to the building.
