Self Inspection Program <br />The goal of the Inspection program is to safeguard the lives and property of the citizens <br />of the community. This is achieved through two basic strategies. <br />1. Prevent fire from occurring through <br />a. General inspections <br />b. Education <br />2. Manage the impact on people and property should a fire occur through <br />a. Accurate and updated preplans <br />b. Knowledge of special building features such as fire protection systems <br />and utilities. <br />1 am proposing an upgrade to the fire inspection program for the City of I.,ittle Canada <br />through the following. <br />Inspection of the common space of all multi - family occupancies once a year. <br />Potential for largest life loss, historically that is where most fire fatalities occur <br />and where people are most vulnerable. <br />All commercial properties are inspected on either an annual or bi- annual cycle. <br />The frequency is determined based on type of occupancy, building population, <br />fuel load, and potential hazards within the occupancy and the potential <br />community risk associated with the occupancy. <br />On the off inspection year continue the self - inspection program. <br />Implementation Plan: <br />1. Identify occupancies and establish schedule. <br />2. Explanation of the program and goals of the Self-Inspection Program. <br />a) A letter to the business owners /managers. <br />b) Inspection form. <br />c) Guidelines for self - inspection. <br />d) Follow -up letter. <br />Understanding that with any new program there will be some pushback, I am hoping to <br />minimize this by working with the public and treat people with courtesy and respect. <br />10 <br />
