What is a Fire Safety Plan?

A Fire Safety Plan is required by the Ontario Building Code (OBC), specifically section 2.8 of Ontario Regulation 213/07, which is part of the Ontario Fire Protection and Prevention Act and has been amended.

This plan is designed to ensure occupant safety in the event of a fire, facilitate the effective use of fire safety features in the building, and minimize the risk of fires. Additionally, the plan serves as an audit of the building's resources and outlines the maintenance required by the OBC. In case of an emergency, the plan will be accessible to firefighters and provide them with floor plans and other relevant building and tenant information.

The Fire Safety plan encompasses fire prevention, evacuation, and emergency response.

This startup wants to build VR headsets with 'human eye-resolution'

Originally from techcrunch.com

Earlier this month, Google virtual reality head Clay Bavor discussed the company’s efforts on a mind-boggling 20 megapixel screen that was currently under development. The screens would be a staggering 17x resolution improvement on displays in current generation VR systems like the Rift and Vive. They would also be totally unusable, because at the frame rates needed for VR, such displays would burn through 50-100 GBs of data per second.The key for working this out would be utilizing a technology called foveated rendering to track where a user’s eyes are looking and ensure that only the area at the center of their vision is being rendered at full resolution.While this will undoubtedly be a technology that enables the future of high-end VR, it’s still one that relies on expensive displays that aren’t even widely available yet.

A Finnish startup is positing that they’ve come up with a way to bring human-eye level resolution to VR headsets through a technique that will direct a pair of insanely high-resolution displays to the center of your vision. With current technology, the company claims this will enable perceived resolutions north of 70 megapixels.Varjo, which means “shadow” in Finnish, is looking to bring this technology to higher-end business customers by next year at a price of “less than $10,000” according to the company.

Why show off this tech now? Largely because the company is currently raising cash stateside and was just awarded a few patents related to these technologies last week.I had the chance to demo a prototype of the company’s technology last week using a modified Oculus Rift headset with Varjo’s display systems embedded.I suppose the best testament to the company’s technology was that I spent most of the demo questioning whether my eye sight had actually been improved. After being dropped into an apartment scene, I was almost disturbed by my ability to read the spines of books on bookshelves several feet away.

When Is It Required To Update Your Fire Safety Plan?

The Fire Safety Plan (FSP) shall be reviewed as often as necessary, but at least every 12 months, and shall be revised as necessary so that it takes into account changes in the use or other characteristics of the building or premises.

If any of the following have been changed or upgraded in your building the FSP will need to be updated:
1. Use and occupancy of the building.
2. Fire department access points, including the principal entrance for fire department response.
3. Fire alarm system and the building's sequence of operation.
4. Sprinkler system.
5. Fire standpipe (hose) system.
6. Water supply control valves and fire pumps.
7. Smoke control system.
8. Hazardous processing areas, including the identification of the nature of the process.
