Essential Safety Measures (ESMs) encompass the safety features and systems required within buildings to protect occupants in emergencies, particularly fires. These include passive elements built into the structure, active elements that detect and respond to fires, and the management processes that respond to emergencies and maintain the ESM. ESS specialises in helping building owners comply with their legal obligations to ensure their ESMs are maintained and operate effectively throughout the building's lifespan.
The ESM requirements for a building are defined in the National Construction Code and State Building Code and Regulations. Some of the items needed in your building may include:
This essential safety measures checklist is not exhaustive and the ESM needed depends on your building and its use. A small commercial warehouse may only require fire extinguishers and properly signed exits. A major complex, all of the above ESM and more.
The building design and approval processes determine the ESM requirements. ESS’ role is to support the ongoing role of the building owner to ensure the ESM systems continue to operate as intended for the life of the building. We do this by undertaking inspections, tests and replacement of various ESM components at the intervals specified in the Building Regulations and Australian Standards and identifying and repairing defects and other nonconformances.
Building owners are legally liable for non-compliance and the failure to report annually on the work done to maintain the EMS. ESS has the skills, knowledge, and experience to offer a one-stop-option to deliver a compliant ESM system on an ongoing basis.
