EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Following the denths of two persons relnted to ctubon monoxide poisoning in n dwelling in Toronto, Council pnssed Resolution H29/98 dirccting lhe Town Clerk to cortespond with the Provincial Ministries responsible for enncting Iegislntion which could rcquirc the insinllation of cnrbon monoxide detectors in nll new und existing dwcllings, urging them to do so. The Town Clerk issued the cortespondence on Februaty 4,1998 (sce attachments). Resolution #29/98 ulso directed the authors of this rcporl to investigatc the matter and rcporl buck to Council with a dmit bylaw rcquiring iustnllation of cnrbon monoxidc detcctors and smoke nlarms in ull rcsidential dwellings within the Ta�m, nnJ to report on thc costs und bcnefits of u support program to faciliwte the instnllation of Ihesc devices. As dirceicd by Cauncil, this rtport nitnches n by-law for Council's considerntion, but cautions thnt the conslruction nnd sufety stnndards rclating to this issue for new and existing buildings arc Provinciul rother thnn Municipul juriscliction. Thc Ontaria Firo Code Rcgulalion �388/97 und thc Onlaria Building Code curmntly rcyuire smoke nlnrms to bc installcd und maintained in ull dwellings. Thosc rcquirements nre enforccd by Town staff under Ihe existing I'rovincinl Icgislntion. The inslullntion of CO and smokc dcicctors will bcnefit the hcalth and safcly of Town rcsidents. Staft'strongly rccommcnd in addition lo urging thc Provincc to pass Icgislalion rcquiring CO dctectors in all cxisting dwcllings, nnd rcgnrdless of whcthcr a by-Inw is passed, thnt thc Town expwid ils existing public ewarencss nnd suppon program, ihrough thc �irc Dcpartment which will include: 1. Pubiic information unnouncemenls in thc community pagc of the locnl ncwspaper; 2, Thc production of nn informntion brochurc, describing potcntinl hn�nrds anJ promoting homc maintenunce und the inslnllntion of carbon monoxide dctection devices nnd smoke nlatms, to be distributed through thc Town's existing snfety uwareness prognun; 3. A similor informution puckagc for inciusion on thc Town's intcmct web sitc; 4. Thc promotion end distribution ofn Homc Sufety Kit which will includc a smokc nlurm and a CO detector together wilh instnllution insWctions ond n home safety inspcction conducted by Fire Services stafi; 5. The Town's building rcview process will include notificntion to all upplicnnts udvising of Ihc requirements of the proposed Tawn by-law; nnd 6. Following enactment of the bylaw, municipul occupancy pertnits will not bc issued far new rcsidcntial buildings until the neccssnry CO detector and smoke alarms huve bccn instullcd. BACKGROUND: Sourcea and Hezard� otCerbon Mono:idc Carbon monoxide (CO) is un odourless, colourlcss toxic gos with approximntcly thc samc density ns air, which is formcd as n by-product of thc incomplcic combustion of m m�tcrinl or fucl. CO disperses rnpidly In air, und cnn percolate through seemingly impctvious mnterials likc wncrotc. � % Repoct to Council L 44/98 March I8,1998 • , iz Subject: Smoke Alarms und Carbon Monoxidc Detectors Pogc 3 Potential sources of carbon monoxide in n dwclling includa: • Iwky heat exchangcrs in fwnaces • improper or blocked exhaust venis for ges epplinnces • fireplaces or stovcs thut are impropedy exhuusted or blocked • idling vehicles in ntwched guruges and in underground garages • improperly vented spacc heaters • bnrbequcs Exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide cnuses flu like symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, confusion nnd fatigue. Higher Icvci cxposurcs cnn result in nbdominal pain, diarrhea, impaired vision, convulsions, comn and eventually denlh. The Ievcl of concentration of CO and thc durntion of exposure arc both critical fuctors in the degree of hnztud presentcd. Curbon monoxide poisoning is n leadind cnuse o( accidental poisoning within dwellings. On nveragc, 30 persons die nnnuully in Cnnadn ns u result of accidental curbon monoxidc poisoning in dwellings. There is no record of nny accidcnwl deaths occurting within Pickering ns u rcsult of curbon monoxide poisoning. By way of comparison, thc falnlity rntc for Pickcring duc lo dwelling fires is upproximately one evcry 2.5 yeurs. Prevention anJ Protcctton �'•The maintenance nnd proper venting of fuel buming applianccs is the most significnnt aspecl of prcvcntion. Thc rccent lrogedy in Toronto wus rcporicdly n conscqucncc of n blocked chimncy, which perhaps may hnve bcen dctcetcd anJ nvoidcJ had periodic inspections bcen undertukcn. Greater public awurcness of lhc dungcrs of impro�r maintcnancc would thcrefare bc of significnnt benefit to public safety. Carbon monoxidc dctcctors, listed und IabelcJ by Undcnvriters Laboralorics of Cunnda (ULC) nre thc most cffective mcans of wnming occupants of exccssive concentrntions of CO which have not been prevcntcd. Thcrc arc a wide variety of both baucry powcrcd nnd electrical CO detcction deviccs now rcadily nvailabic in thc markctplacc, which wam of conccnlrntions by mcans of nn nlarm beforc CO rcachcs ha�rdous Icvcls. Thcsc Jcviccs vary in cost, scnsitivity, longevity, rcquircmcnts for maintennncc nnd the tcchnology uscd to dctect C0. Mnny rcquirc periodic testing and replacement, and consequcnAy the instnllation of a detection device does not ue pove the nced for homcowncr diliecncc. ULC, which is rccogniud us thc authority with respect to construction safcty stnndurds nnd tcsts and certifics CO dctcctors to national stnndnrds, recommends thnt al lenst one CO detcctor ba insmllcd in evcry dwclling, nenr the slccping amas. Atmched to this rcport is a chart which identifics some of the carbon monoxide detectors curmnQy on thc mnrket. Curcent Lcgialalion The Ontario Building Code prescribes stundards for nll new dwcllings in Ontario, whilc the Ontario Fire Code addresscs safety and maintenance issues in existing dwellings. The Ontario Building Code requires the installation of gosproofing measures bctwccn attnched gazeges md dwellings, which mitigetes the CO hauuds from uutomobilc sources. It ulso rcquircs the installetion of smoke alam�s on every tloor level. The Code however docs not rcquirc the instellation of CO detcclors in most houses. They nre rccogniud nnd addrcssed in thc Code, and are mandatory in specific cnses where n solfd fuel buming appliance is instnlled (such ns a ,, woodbuming fireplace or stovc). Thc Ontnrio Building Code hns exclusivc jurisdiction ovcr minimum specifications for all new buildings in the Town, nnd a specific provision of Uu BulldJng Code Acl rendcrs ineffective nny contrary municipul by-law. Thc To�m theroforc ' appears to hnve no legal capabiliry for cnforoing the rcquiremcnt for u CO dclector in thc .+ y''convtrucdon of any new dwelling. Town staff will advise buildcrs of thc Town's rcquircments F;.; 4' . thcough the building permlt process, und will enforcc thc mquircmcnts through thc municipnl �; ;: occupency pemiit process, rnlher than the building pertnit proccss. It is wonh noting, howcvcr, � y.£> ' that en occupancy pertnit is not u mandetory rcquircmcnt under thc Duilding Codc Act, nnd �� ;� � lhereforo thls approach cannot gunrontec the instullmcnt of a dcvicc in every ncw dwclling. �,, k__�� _._i. . . � . . � � ,,� �� ^ Report to Cotmcil L 44/98 Mazch 18, 1998 .,�6jecL Smoke Alarms nnd Curbon Monoxide Deteclors Page 4 The Ontario Fire Code, Regulation N388/97, requires the inslalletion and muintenunce of smoke alarms in all dwelling units, which, in concert with the rr,quircments of the Ontario Quilding Code, eliminates the need for an additionnl cnforcement vehicic for such alurtns on nny new or existing dwelling. The Fire Code docs not requirc tha installntion of CO detectors in nny dwelling. The muintenance of fuel buming appliances is, however, nddressed in thc Pirc Codc, nnd is presently being enforced by the Town. Conclu�ion and Recommended Messurea It is appurent lhut, given ►he scope of the ha�nrd und the regulatory Inndscape surtounding thc requirements fot snfety wilhin buildings in Onlurio, lhe Town's most appropriatc coursc of nction is to conduct un effective public service infortnntion program conceming the hn7nrds of carbon monoxide poisoning, nnd the means of mitigating these dnngers. In order to provide residents with musonuble time to comply with the proposed by-law, it is recommended that the by-law not bccome effectivc until November I, 1998. Thc promotionnl initictive however, should commence immediately. This program should be dcvcloped and udminislered primnrily through thc Town's �irc Scrviccs Depnrtmcnt. Amendmenls to lhc Town's fecs by-Inw will be rcquired prior to initiating thc snle of Safety Kits. A report describing this initintivc in morc dcwil, and to nmcnd thc fces by-Inw will bc forihcoming oncc the purchase price of the alarms and detectors havc been estublishcd. Thc rccommended public infortnution progmm includes: I. Public informution announcements in thc community page of thc locul ncwspaper; 2. Thc production of an infortnalion brochurc, describing polcntinl hazards nnd promoting homc maintenance und the instnllation of carbon monoxide detcction dcviccs and smokc ularms, to be distribulcd through thc Town's cxisting snfcty awarcncss progrnm; 3. A similar infortnation pnckogc for inclusion on thc Town's intemct web silc; 4. The promotion and distribution of a f lomc Safcty Kit which will includc n smokc alnrtn und a CO delcctor together with instnllation instructions and u home snfcty inspcction conducted by Fire Serviccs smff; 5, 'Cha Town's building rcvicw process will includc notification to nll upplicants advising of thc requirements of the proposcd Town by-law; and 6. Folio�;�ing enactment of the by-law, municipal occupe�icy permits will not be issued for new residential buildings until the necessary CO detector and smoke alnrtns have been insinlled.
