Annual Fire Safety Statement – AFSS
The Annual Fire Safety Statement is typically a straightforward exercise when the site is well maintained, and there are no outstanding issues. With new Regimes of accreditations, audits, and governance, many sites need repairs. There is a process to avoid fines and still perform the repairs without meeting the AFSS due Date. Building our relationships with Council officers and fire safety co-ordinators helps you complete these processes with transparency and clarity – ask us how
Fire System Maintenance
Your Fire Protection System needs regular maintenance, testing and inspections. Apart from the obvious benefits, regular inspections mean your repairs are discovered early and the costs distributed across the 12-month period to your AFSS.
Essential Service – Emergency Lighting
The Australian Standards call for the Emergency Lights and Exit Lights in your building to be tested and inspected every six months.
The safety benefit is clear, but an indirect benefit is spreading repair costs across multiple periods between Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS). Technicians will also highlight opportunities for improvement, especially where there are no emergency lights in place and the standard calls for their installation
Fire System Pump Sets
There are a variety of different pump sets and types which serve your fire protection system.
Some Pump sets are diesel fuel power, some are electric, and some are both; that is, the diesel motor and the electrical motor are connected to the same pump.
You need the experience and resources to properly identify and maintain this equipment.
Compliance with the relevant standards, including AS 1851, which is the basis for fire protection system maintenance processes and timelines.
Fire System Agreements
Every Fire protection maintenance agreement is tailored to you and the parameters of your site. Some buildings need a monthly visit, some need a visit every six months. This variable is subject to the equipment, and the guide from the Australian Standards AS 1851
