Owners Annual Fire Safety Assessment
Where applicable, the law requires building owners to engage a qualified person to assess fire safety measures in buildings each year. If the inspection is not performed properly by a qualified person, the building owner may be held liable. Engaging Gielle for the assessment satisfies this obligation.
Comprehensive fire safety assessment
Our fire protection consultants determine when the fire safety measures were installed in your building and research the performance standards that was applicable at the time (not today’s standards).
The inspection identifies whether:
the fire systems listed on council’s schedule exist on your premises, and are correctly listed by council
the fire systems can perform to the relevant World Standards and legislation
changes to building structure or use effect fire system performance
the fire equipment is correctly located and has no obvious damage
the routine inspection, testing and servicing is being performed and any defects found have been rectified
the status of the paths of travel to the exits including the exit doors, in connection with the relevant state regulations.
A detailed report, including photos is prepared.
The report:
identifies fire measures and their relevant standards
reports on the measures’ capacity to perform to their relevant standards
recognises relevant issues in respect to paths of travel to the exits
identifies and classifies any defects
includes a Fire Safety Statement prepared for the building owner.
