<strong>Government</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> <strong>Workplace</strong> <strong>2.0</strong> <strong>Fit</strong>-<strong>up</strong> <strong>Standards</strong> Section A: General-purpose Office Space<br />

Printer Stations<br />

In addition to the centrally located, shared equipment areas, stations can be provided<br />

throughout the <strong>of</strong>fice for access to network printers if required. With the advent <strong>of</strong> large multifunction<br />

printer units the full allocation may not be necessary.<br />

Power and data services are provided to each location. There is no millwork allowance for these<br />

spaces and the client is responsible for the provision <strong>of</strong> furniture and equipment.<br />

Planning ratio: maximum <strong>of</strong> one printer station for every 20 – 30 FTEs.<br />

Coat Storage<br />

Coat closets may be provided for visitors and are to be conveniently located. Approximately<br />

100 mm <strong>of</strong> hanging space is required for each coat/person or one 1.5 m (5’-0”) closet for every<br />

15 visitors.<br />

First Aid Room or Station<br />

A first-aid room is not required where a health unit or a similar emergency treatment facility<br />

is conveniently available to provide first-aid services. As a result, first aid rooms are seldom<br />

justifiable and have been removed from many locations. Refer to Treasury Board Policy<br />

Operational Health and Safety Directive, Section 18.6, First-aid Rooms. If required, the<br />

planning ratio is as follows:<br />

Planning ratio: 1 per 200 or more FTEs.<br />
