THE REQUIREMENT OF FIRE UPGRADE WORKS
Have you ever paid attention to your Annual Fire Safety Statement – otherwise known as your AFSS and do you know what it is?
Your AFSS is a legal document all commercial and residential buildings are required to have on display in a public place such as the entry lobby. This document lists all the essential fire services within the building and the standards they were installed to.
By law, owners of a building are required to ensure all occupants within the building are safe, thus, keeping your AFSS up to date is essential. However, The BCA is constantly upgraded, meaning over a period of time, most, if not all buildings will be served with a council fire upgrade notice, which will identify the current standards which your building fails to comply with.
At Remedial, we have a team of qualified experts who will work with you to ensure your building is compliant. Furthermore, we can work with you to ensure that any council served upgrade orders are resolved to the highest possible standard.
Our range of upgrade services includes fire penetrations, fire doors, thin film intumescents as well as safety audits.
