Introduction Division B, Section 2.8 of the Alberta Fire Code (AFC 2019), requires all worksites to
have a fire safety plan. OHS has developed this plan to meet these legislative requirements, provide instructions on the building's safe evacuation, and identify staff and supervisory duties during a fire emergency.
Ultimately the building owner is responsible for carrying out the provisions of the
Alberta Fire Code. AIMCO is the building owner, and EDON is the building owner's representative and the building operator. DynaLIFE (DL) is a tenant in the building.
A copy of the fire safety plan shall be prominently posted at:
the first floor 103 street entrance
the first floor 102 street staff entrance
outside of the Flammable liquid room.
Further:
• This Fire Safety plans must be acceptable to the Fire Department; • The fire safety plan shall be reviewed at intervals not greater than 12 months
to ensure that it takes account of change in the use and other characteristics of the building;
• Fire wardens will supervise the evacuation of the building from 7:00 am – 1:00 am. Between the hours of 1:00 am – 7:00 am, Base lab occupancy is less than 50 people; during these hours, the staff in each department are responsible for evacuating themselves.

Fire Safety Considerations
• Use a building telephone only if you are safe from the fire.
• While exiting, walk, and do not run
• Shut all doors behind you and alert those who have difficulty hearing that the
building's emergency evacuation is underway
• Proceed along corridors and through exits in a quiet and orderly manner
• Remain calm, do not pass in the stairwell, and do not push or jostle
• If you must use an escape route where there is smoke, stay as low as possible.
Crawling lets you breathe the cleaner air near the floor as you move toward the
exit
• Before you open a closed door, feel it with the back of your hand. If it is hot,
leave it closed and use your alternate escape route. If it feels normal, brace
your body against the door and open it a crack - be prepared to slam it shut if
heat or smoke starts to rush in
• If all exits are blocked by fire or smoke, enter a room preferably with an
exterior window, and seal the cracks in the door with available materials to
prevent smoke from entering the room. Phone 9-1-1 or to report your situation
and attract the attention of someone outside the building by any possible
means
• When you have reached the outside of the building, move away from the exit
allowing others behind you to emerge.
Fire Drills Fire drill exercises can and will include web based training, instructor led sessions,
and physical evacuations. Fire drills will be conducted quarterly. The Chief Fire Warden will coordinate two physical evacuation drills a year and will ensure day, evening and night shifts participate.
Fire drill exercises will provide the Chief Warden, Deputies, Departmental
Wardens, and occupants with the opportunity to hear the fire alarm and consider their actions if the fire were real. Use the following procedure when conducting
the fire drill: • Notify occupants of the date and time of the drill
• Notify the fire department on their non-emergency phone numbers that you
are planning to have a fire drill and that you will call them back when the drill is
complete
• Fire Warden Team should perform his or her duties as detailed in the plan.
• Restore the manual fire alarm pull station, and then reset the fire alarm system
• Notify the alarm monitoring company (when applicable) and the fire
department that the fire drill is complete
• Discuss the drill with occupants to identify concerns and gather feedback

Fire Extinguishers
Portable fire extinguishers are helpful only if you know how to use them, suitable for the fire you are fighting, and if the fire is discovered immediately. You should not attempt to fight even a small fire until people have been evacuated from the area and the Fire Department has been called. Never attempt to fight a fire if any
of the following is true: • You are uncertain about how to use the extinguisher.
• The fire is spreading beyond the immediate area where it started.
• The fire could block your escape route.
• You are alone.
• The fire could spread and block your escape route.
• The fire is growing rapidly.
• The fire has developed or is developing a lot of smoke.
• You have not been trained in the use of the extinguisher.
If you doubt that you can extinguish the fire, leave immediately, close off the area and leave the firefighting to the Fire Department. Read and follow the directions on the fire extinguishers within your building. Most portable fire extinguishers work according to the following directions (PASS):
• PULL the pin.
• AIM low... pointing the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the fire
• SQUEEZE the handle. This releases the extinguishing agent
• SWEEP from side to side at the base of the fire until it appears to be out.
Watch the fire area. If a fire breaks out again, repeat the use of the extinguisher
