Essential Safety Measures
Essential safety measures are the fire safety features and equipment within a building, to ensure a safe environment is provided for the occupants. Under building legislation, these features and equipment are required to be maintained to the frequency and manner specified in Australian Standard AS1851 Maintenance of fire protection systems and equipment.
The team at Fitout Permits Australia can assist building owners by various means. Audits may be conducted to establish what ESMs are applicable and located within the building, and verify that these ESMs are being maintained in a compliant manner. Further, our team is equipped to provide regular inspections of the passive fire safety features within the building.
Following the audit, our team will issue a concise report detailing any upgrades or changes required to the maintenance program to achieve compliance.
