Fire Safety Plans must be building and occupancy specific. A fire safety plan for a restaurant is obviously different than a fire safety plan for a commercial building.
But what do you do if the commercial building contains a restuarant, training school, library and theatre. Your fire safety plan MUST take into consideration the specific requirements for each one of these occupancies.
While it may seem possible to just work with a 'generic' plan the potential problems that will occur duirng the review process can be overbearing. Each fire safety plan is submitted to the local municipal fire prevention office for review and approval.
Fire Safety Plans are vetted against a check list to ensure it meets the requirements of the 'fire code' and any municipal specific requirements.
This is from the Town of Marrkham Fire Services. It requires the person preparing the plan to have knowledge of the fire and life safety systems in the building and the ability to prepare schematic floor plan drawings. Responsibilities, Duties, etc are generic and are not appropriate for all facilities.

Fire Safety Plans must be submitted for approval by the local municipal fire services. Most fire services have developed a format to verify if the fire safety plan meets the Fire Code Requirements and any local municipal requirements.
