Campus Safety Operations conducts an annual fire drill for the campus as required by the Ontario Fire Code Section 2.8.
In partnership with Residence Life, Campus Safety also conducts fire drills for Residence Housing once each term.
All persons are required by law to exit the building during a fire drill in a safe and timely manner. The drills are monitored and timed by Campus Safety, and the “All Clear” will not be given until officers are satisfied the building is empty.
Evacuation Procedures for Departments
Campus Safety Operations will assist UTSC departments with setting up Evacuation Procedures for their department. Evacuation Procedures include identifying evacuation routes, mustering locations, and assigning Evacuation Wardens and a back up Evacuation Wardens. Evacuation Warden is a voluntary position and they assist emergency personnel with the evacuation of persons in their designated area during a fire event or other emergency. If you are interested in developing an Evacuation Procedure for your department at UTSC, please feel free to use the below template or contact the Manager of Security Systems and Services.
