Home Daycare Safety Inspections

The Township of Ramara offers home safety inspections for residents that must meet agency standards. The fee for this inspection is $75. To schedule an inspection, please contact the Township office.

For daycare and agency-related inspections, a full review of the home is required, including:

• Working smoke alarms on every level of the home (must be less than 10 years old).
• Working carbon monoxide (CO) alarms on every level where people sleep (within manufacturer's timeline, usually 10 years).
• Clear unobstructed exits doors to the outside.
• No temporary wiring (extension cords used as permanent wiring).
• Minimum 1 metre clearance from combustibles around furnaces, hot water tanks and other fuel-fired appliances.
• Written fire escape plan with an exterior meeting place.
• Safe storage of propane, flammable and combustible liquids.
• Chemicals stored securely (locked away or out of reach).
• Fire extinguisher present, properly maintained and knowledge of use. 

Upon successful completion of the inspection, the Township will issue a letter stating our findings and any alterations that must be completed.
