Safety Requirements for Temporary Residential Facilities

EIN 24 ESA 400

April 23, 2020

Given the current situation with COVID-19, new measures have been introduced to allow governments and municipalities to repurpose existing facilities, or build temporary structures, such as tents, so communities can meet their local needs quickly.

The intent of this document is to address the repurposing of existing facilities and building of new temporary structures that are to be used as Temporary Residential Facilities (TRF). This document provides a deviation to the requirements of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC), while requiring the facilities to maintain an acceptable level of electrical safety.
