Bbq on Balconies
Introduction “The Ontario Fire Code Article 2.6.3.4.” states open air burning shall not be permitted unless approved, or unless such burning consists of a small confined fire, supervised at all times, and used to cook food on a grill or barbecue." The term 'approved ' means approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) which is the local fire department. The Ontario Fire Code dose not regulate the barbequing on the balconies, however, some cities prohibit it. For example, city of Guelph, London and Kitchener Ontario prohibit barbequing on balconies. The both City of Guelph By-law adds, "Notwithstanding subsection 2.6.3.4. of the Ontario Fire Code, no person shall light, ignite or start, or permit to be lighted, ignited or started, a fire in a grill or barbecue for the purpose of cooking food on a balcony of any building containing two (2) or more dwelling units. "Barbecue includes any metal frame for cooking over heat or flame, whether such heat or flame is produced by gas, electricity, wood or otherwise." Background
During the summer season residents are likely to enjoy cooking on barbecue grills. In most of condos and apartment, barbecuing on balcony has been prohibited because of its potential fire hazard. There are several ways to barbecue like charcoal, propane, and electrical. Even though fire code and municipal by-laws are not permitted barbequing on balcony, residents enjoy their food. In this report, we research whether cooking on balcony is really dangerous enough to prohibit by law. For instance, my apartment (Jay Kim’s), tenancy rules and regulation states “Tenants shall not use the balconies or porches for the hanging or drying of clothes, nor for the purpose of cooking, nor for the use of barbecues. Only seasonal furniture is to be allowed balconies.”
Report
To barbecue means to fast-cook meat at a high temperature over wood or charcoal. In America, barbecue (or BBQ) originated in the late 1800 's during Western cattle drives. The

    How To Write A Policy

    • 267 Words

    It has been brought to my attention that there are many issues with employees staying in the designated smoking area. Smoking has to be more than 500 feet from the office and we have employees who are smoking right outside of the door. Second hand smoke is very dangerous and harmful to a person. It is your choice to smoke but not the others person who is receiving second hand smoke. While smoking so close to the buildings every time the door is opened smoke enters the office. When people are walking from building to building they are breathing in the smoke as well. Employees who are not smokers, do not want to breathe these chemicals in. While I can’t remove smoking from the premises all together, a new policy is being put in place. There is no more smoking allowed near the buildings. Since the old designated smoking area did not work for everyone I have decided to make some changes to the outside to accommodate the employees who do smoke. There is going to be 3 picnic areas 500 feet away from the offices. These picnic areas will be set up with a cover, trash can and seating. Please make sure that these areas stay clean of all debris and are kept up. Cigarettes shall not be placed in the trash can but in the smolder holder next to them. With these new areas, smokers are allowed to take their brakes and smoke in an area that is far enough away from the offices but still have a place to sit and relax.…
