The reproduction of this guideline for non-commercial
purposes is permitted and encouraged. Permission to reproduce the guideline for
commercial purposes must be obtained from the Office of the Fire Marshal,
Ontario.
This guideline is intended to assist hotel operators and owners, including
their agents, to conduct an audit of a hotel establishment building that is
regulated under Retrofit, Section 9.9 of the Fire Code. The purpose of
conducting an audit is to identify and describe the existing building features
in relation to Section 9.9 requirements. Completing an audit will help to
determine the degree of compliance or non-compliance. The guideline is
subdivided into sections. Each section is designed for use as a template
suitable for documenting the degree of compliance or non compliance with
applicable requirements based upon review and analysis of the subject matter.
Many of the sections also contain explanatory information (commentary) relating
to the requirement under consideration. The guideline is intended for guidance
only and is not to be considered a statement of law in this area.
A separate audit guideline is available at
www.ofm.gov.on.ca for use involving a one storey residential building that:
is
a hotel establishment or is part of a hotel establishment, and
contains
guest suites, other residential accommodations and/or building services, and
does
not contain any other major occupancies, and
does
not have a basement.
Retrofit Section 9.9 Hotels, was introduced in May 2006 as an amendment to the
Ontario Fire Code under Ontario Regulation 144/06 made under the
Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997. The
regulation’s effective date is January 1, 2007. A number of the requirements
become effective on that date. However there are different intervals of up to 5
years in some instances to comply with various provisions.
Other portions of Parts 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 of the Fire Code also apply to the
subject building where applicable. However, unless referred to specifically in
the guideline, these provisions are not part of this building audit process. It
is the responsibility of the owner to comply with the Fire Code. The Fire Code
may be accessed and downloaded from the Ontario Government e-Laws web site at
http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/.
Owners of buildings falling within the scope of the Section 9.9 Hotels are
responsible for bringing their building(s) into compliance within the time
frames as specified. These time frames are outlined in Article 9.1.3.1. A
compliance schedule is provided in Appendix G –
Regulation Compliance Schedule.
In some instances the work required may result in material alterations to the
building structure or to its systems, and may affect temporarily the use of
spaces in instances where installations or alterations must be made within these
areas. Building construction, including additions, renovations and/or demolition
are always subject to the Building Code Act and its regulations. For this
reason, should construction be necessary, a building permit may be required
prior to undertaking remedial measures to comply.
Article 9.9.1.2. requires the owner to prepare and retain a separate Building
Audit for each building that is part of a
hotel establishment. The Building
Audit must identify and describe the existing building features in relation to
the requirements in Section 9.9. The Building Audit must be completed by January
1, 2008. Completing a Building Audit will help an owner identify those areas of
the building audited that comply while also identifying those areas that may be
deficient and require upgrading. Once the Building Audit is completed; it must
be retained and be made available to an Assistant to the Fire Marshal upon
request.
1.1 Instructions For Using The Audit Guideline
There are 40 sections in this Building Audit guideline. Each section reflects
certain elements of the regulation’s requirements. It is intended that this
guideline be followed sequentially. Using the audit guideline sequentially will
ensure that the fire safety elements regulated under Section 9.9 will be
appropriately assessed and the results where applicable will be suitably
documented.
Following the guideline instructions as intended will help the user to determine
those portions of the regulation that apply to the building so that appropriate
analysis and documentation can be achieved. Every effort has been made to ensure
that this guideline incorporates all the provisions of Retrofit, Section 9.9.
Some portions of the regulation and guideline will not apply to the hotel
establishment building being audited. In these instances, by following the
directions in the guideline you will be directed to proceed to the next section
or specified portion in the guideline. This will allow you to disregard those
portions of the guideline that are not applicable to the building being audited.
The Building Audit can be prepared using a computer and Microsoft Word in a
manner similar to working on any Microsoft Word document. To complete the
guideline on a computer, download the Microsoft Word file to your computer.
Identify and save the file so that you can access it easily to work on. After
working on the Building Audit save the changes you have made before closing the
file. When you return to work on it, simply open the file and carry on from
where you last left off.
To conduct the Building Audit, carefully review each statement and examine the
corresponding feature(s) in the building. After completing the analysis,
document the appropriate response by checking (Yes
or No
) and where
necessary describe or list additional information as directed in the text form
field provided following the asterisk (*███).
When inserting text immediately after the asterisk (*) the form field will expand as necessary to accommodate
all text. Inserted text will be printed in the colour red. Form fields located
in the tables are not identified by an asterisk.
To check a box using your computer, simply double left click your mouse while
the cursor is on the box. Then select ‘Checked’ under the default value, then
OK. The box is checked.
The Building Audit can also be prepared using a printed copy of this
document/file. When using this format, print the Building Audit guideline on
single-sided, 3-hole punched paper. Place the printed pages in a 3 ring binder.
Also obtain a notebook containing more than 50 pages. It would be preferable for
the notebook to be bound in some manner and also be 3-hole punched for inserting
into the 3-ring binder. When documenting your analysis if you encounter
insufficient space after an asterisk (*) to insert the necessary details, the
information can be written in the notebook. It is suggested that a separate page
in the notebook be used for documenting each applicable section as you work your
way through the audit process and guideline.
The guideline provides qualifying statements intended to determine if the
section or subsection applies to the building being audited. By completing these
qualifying statements, in some instances you will be directed to proceed to the
next section or specified portion in the guideline. When you encounter this
using the computer, a hyperlink is provided that you can click on with the left
mouse button. Using this hyperlink will take you to the next section or area in
the Building Audit. To return to your original place in the audit guideline,
click on the forward key (Þ) or return key (Ü) located on the computer screen
tool bar.
Once all applicable sections of the guideline have been completed, it is
necessary to retain only those portions of the guideline that were applicable to
the building in order to satisfy the provisions of Article 9.9.1.2. pertaining
to the building audit.

Many of the requirements in Retrofit are determined by the
building size and the nature of its construction. The requirements are based
upon building height and building area and whether the building is of
combustible construction or
noncombustible construction.
4.1 Determine The Building Height
This subsection involves determining the building height of the building being
audited. It is important to note that the words, storey,
first storey and grade
all have assigned meanings and are used in their defined sense in the context of
the definition.
