That’s an excellent but, unfortunately, extremely broad question that I can’t properly answer without knowing alot more about your company, building, business, etc. What I can say is that the requirements stem mostly from the Building and Fire Codes, rather than the OHS Code, which says nothing specific about fire alarms or sprinklers. Here are links you can use to access the laws.
