Recent changes to the Fire Safety Regulations have been implemented to ensure people can evacuate safely and quickly from a building in the event of fire or emergency and to ensure that required fire installations for the building are maintained so that they can operate in way that they were originally intended.
Owners and occupiers now have certain responsibilities for the safety standards of their common area. There is now onus on bodies corporate (owners/occupiers) to provide clear evacuation routes, fire evacuation planning and instructions and maintenance of fire safety installations.
It is advised that all bodies corporate carry out First Response Training and complete a Fire Audit to ensure the fire safety of the building is being carried out in accordance with the legislation brought in 1st July 2007. Failure to comply may result in fines from QLD Fire.
Our service will provide your body corporate with peace of mind knowing that your fire systems have been assessed and that your building conforms to the Fire Safety Legislation. Star BMS will inspect your building and deliver an easy to understand report that identifies all items that need to be address by the body corporate. It will also include an audit of your fire service provider records to ensure they are delivering a service to Australian Standard 1851.
Star BMS employ qualified Fire Safety Advisors who understand bodies corporate.
We have prepared a complimentary Building Checklist - Fire Regulations Compliance. This checklist will assist you in self-assessing your fire regulations compliance and to help ensure that elements requiring action in the future are not overlooked. Also linked are complimentary templates for you to use.
If you choose to complete the checklist, and identify areas that you feel are not compliant, feel free to contact Star BMS for assistance. We are able to answer your questions and provide advice and quotes for compliance work.
