Summary
This report provides an annual update on fire and life safety compliance at the City of Toronto, as directed by City Council (AU13.11). The report reviews the 2020 compliance, as assessed by an internal team of Quality Assurance and Risk Management Assessors, against the 2017, 2018 and 2019 baseline data. The assessment shows that both fire and life safety record completion and compliance rates continue to improve. Significant progress has been made in standardizing fire and life safety vendor work within City owned buildings.
In 2021, Corporate Real Estate Management continued to centralize and standardize fire and life safety services across the City. Despite challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Corporate Real Estate Management made significant progress implementing the Master Fire Program, and awarded a new competitive procurement for inspections, testing and maintenance services, and the recruitment of new staff to enable the new service model.
