(1) Manual pull stations need not be installed in a rapid transit station.

(2) Audible signal appliances need not be installed in a rapid transit station.

In Plain Language

Manual pull stations and audible signal appliances need not be installed in a rapid transit station, reflecting that station monitoring and communication typically rely on staffed supervision rather than these standard alarm components.

This is a plain-language summary of the 2012/2017 Ontario Building Code text above, for general understanding only and not a substitute for the Code. Always confirm current requirements against the 2024 edition (O.Reg. 163/24) or a qualified professional before construction.
