Annual essential safety measure report and fire statement compliance certificates
In every Australian state and territory, the fire safety legislations are both intricate and distinct, designed to ensure that building owners or agents keep their fire and life safety installations operational for emergencies. Central to this is the requirement of issuing an annual compliance certificate, which certifies the maintenance and operational readiness of these critical installations.
This document is not just a formality – it plays a pivotal role in demonstrating your building’s commitment to occupant safety and legal compliance. Navigating the unique nuances of this certification across different jurisdictions can be a complex and daunting task. Non-compliance not only poses substantial legal liabilities for building owners or their agents but also compromises the safety of all building occupants and stakeholders.
Annual essential safety measure reports (AESMR)
This is where EBC Group steps in. We offer a comprehensive service that simplifies these complex legislative requirements for you. Our team of experts is adept at deciphering and managing these obligations, ensuring that your building is not just compliant, but a benchmark in fire and life safety standards. Our support extends to the preparation and submission of the Annual Essential Safety Measure Report (AESMR), which is a key requirement in many states, particularly Victoria. This report confirms that each safety measure—such as fire hose reels, smoke detectors, emergency lighting and exit signage—has been maintained in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards throughout the year. Failing to complete the AESMR can result in serious consequences, including insurance implications and enforcement action by local authorities.
Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS)
In New South Wales and select other jurisdictions, compliance includes managing the Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS), a declaration that fire safety measures have been assessed by a competent practitioner and meet the required performance standards. We coordinate the entire AFSS process, including inspections, assessments, documentation, and lodgement with the relevant council and fire authority. If your building has recently been completed or upgraded, we also guide you through the final fire safety certificate to ensure everything is in place from day one.
