Reference the Building Construction Guide (PDF) for a list of plans that need to be reviewed. If any modification is being made to the building or fire and life safety system, plans are required to be submitted for review and permitting prior to the commencement of work.

Workplace fires and explosions kill hundreds and injure thousands of workers each year. One way to limit the amount of damage due to such fires is to make portable fire extinguishers an important part of your fire prevention program. When used properly, fire extinguishers can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or controlling a fire until additional help arrives. A fire is the most common type of emergency for which small businesses must plan. A critical decision when planning is whether or not employees should fight a small fire with a portable fire extinguisher or simply evacuate.
