Fire Safety Compliance Problem & Solution in 3 Minutes...
Trying to explain what the broad range of problems that a building owner, occupier or building manager faces has always been difficult for me to articulate. Earlier this week, I was trying to explain the problem when I stumbled across the analogy I was looking for...
Life safety & building safety is like travelling along a highway with no end in sight..
The highway has five lanes which building owners & occupiers must travel along (they have no choice)...
The highway lanes are as follows;
- Statute Law
- Building Regulations
- Occupational Health & Safety Act
- Building Code of Australia
- Installation, Maintenance & Performance Standards
- Common Law
Building owners, occupiers & property managers are expected to understand how to navigate this busy unfamiliar highway...
Even when we think we have everything in order, sometimes the highway throws up a new obstacle...
A solution - 5 things to clear the highway & travel in the right direction...
- Identify all of your safety measures...
- Determine the level of maintenance, necessary to maintain them in a state fit to fulfil their intended purpose!
- Engage a competent contractor!
- Implement a system to manage your maintenance records!
- Review the contractor & records regularly!
