The Building Code serves to protect public health, life safety and property protection related to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures; the Fire Code addresses and enforces minimum requirements with respect to fire safety within and around buildings, to limit the loss of life and damage if a building fire occurs.
These analyses help assess a material or structure’s ability to withstand exposure to fire for a specified period while maintaining its structural integrity and providing a barrier against heat transfer. We analyze how heat moves through materials, aiding in the design of structure that can effectively resist or mitigate the impact of fire.
Barrier-Free Accessibility Design aims to create environments and structures that can be easily accessed and used by individuals with disabilities. This design approach focuses on removing physical and social barriers to promote inclusivity and equal opportunities for everyone.
Fire and Life Safety Reviews are performed to help buildings and structures achieve compliance with safety codes and regulations, and address potential risks related to fire hazards and life-saving measures. These comprehensive assessments aim to enhance the overall safety and security of occupants by identifying and mitigating potential threats to life and property in the event of emergencies.
These tests help evaluate factors such as flame spread, smoke production, and heat release to verify that products meet relevant safety standards and regulations.
Audits of various building types and occupancies help to determine fire risk and the appropriate ways to mitigate such hazards.
We provide expert guidance and support to organizations to help them create and maintain safe and healthy working environments for employees. These services include risk assessments, compliance advice, and the development of safety policies.
Alternative Solutions are customized approaches or deviations from standard regulations that are carefully justified based on a thorough analysis of the specific situation, allowing for flexibility while maintaining a comparable level of safety.
This involves categorizing and delineating areas where the presence of potentially explosive atmospheres exist, based on the assessment of flammable materials, so that appropriate safety measures in those specific zones can be implemented.
We offer customized solutions for storing and managing energy, which may involve deviating from conventional approaches to meet specific requirements, or overcoming challenges, while maintaining safety and efficiency in the storage and retrieval of energy.
We focus on tailoring safety measures and protocols specific to the unique hazards associated with battery production, aligning fire prevention, detection, and mitigation strategies with the intricacies of EV battery manufacturing processes. This specialized approach addresses the potential risks associated with high-energy density batteries, emphasizing the importance of customized fire safety solutions within this industry.
To provide a structured and organized response to emergencies within a facility, comprehensive guidelines and documentation must be created which detail specific actions and protocols to be followed in the event of a fire. These documents typically cover evacuation procedures, fire equipment usage, communication plans, and other critical aspects to enhance overall fire safety preparedness.
Process Safety Management establishes and puts into practice a structured framework that identifies, evaluates, and manages risks associated with industrial processes, supporting the safety and integrity of operations. This involves creating protocols for hazard analysis, training programs, emergency response plans, and ongoing evaluation to prevent and mitigate process-related incidents.
Our services include providing expert assistance and analysis to legal cases related to fire incidents, offering specialized knowledge and testimony to help lawyers, insurers, or regulatory bodies navigate complex technical aspects, assess liability, and make informed decisions in legal proceedings. This support may include investigating the cause of fires, evaluating adherence to safety standards, and presenting expert opinions to aid in legal resolution or decision-making.
To comply with regulations to safely handle and contain hazardous materials, we design and implement storage solutions that consider factors such as appropriate storage containers, ventilation, labeling, and fire protection measures to mitigate risks associated with the storage of dangerous goods and flammable liquids.
Expert consulting and engineering services are provided by our team of professionals who hold certifications and licensure confirming their knowledge and adherence to the provincial building codes. Certified Professional services focus on assisting clients in meeting and maintaining compliance with the specific building regulations and standards established.
