MG Fire - Essential Safety Measures

Essential Safety Measures

AS1851-2012

Essential Safety Measures are the life and fire safety systems required in commercial, industrial and public buildings to ensure the safety of occupants in the event of a fire or emergency.

Legislation requires that the Essential Safety Measures are maintained to ensure they will operate when called upon in an emergency.

Our Process

The Maintenance of Safety Measures in buildings is mandated within the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and/or that State’s Building Regulations.

All clients are allocated an MG Fire Account Manager who will meet with you regularly.
All critical, non-critical and non-conformances found during routine inspections are quoted, and priority identified.
All tests engaged to be completed by MG Fire, will be conducted on time in accordance with AS1851.2012.
MG Fire is always honest with our clients.

MG Fire will be able to identify the Essential Fire Safety Measures within the building.

Our System

The MG Fire Inspection Monitoring and Reporting System is a well-established and proven system that simplifies the essential safety measures process with an easy to use step-by-step approach to achieving compliance.

Our services include:

Set Up
Compliance Management
Inspections
Annual Statement & AS1851-2012 Surveys

Setup

MG Fire is able to carry out an on site survey that will identify the essential fire safety measures present and their locations, we also provide the time to walk though your premises with you and explain the installed essential safety measures and how they effect your building.

MG Fire technicians/inspectors are then assigned to carry out the maintenance and testing of each essential safety measure item identified according to the Certificate of Occupancy or the Building Regulations.

The collected data is entered into a software database by the Inspectors and Essential Safety Measures Logbooks are prepared for each site.

Compliance Management

Essential Fire Safety Measures Compliance can be achieved by utilising the MG Fire Inspection, Monitoring, and Reporting System.

Your MG Fire account manager will ensure they have regular meetings with you to discuss all aspects of your ongoing Essential Safety Measures maintenance. They will also inspect our technicians/inspectors performance in accordance with our quality management system, and finally will discuss with you any outstanding non-compliances and outstanding quotations.

Inspections

MG Fire allocates the appropriate qualified and/or skilled technicians/inspectors to inspect, test and maintain your Essential Safety Measures.

Annual Statement & Surveys

MG Fire has developed a simple and practical process that ensures compliance can be achieved on an annual basis and that when required, Annual Statements and Reports can be prepared and issued.

The customized manuals for each building are prepared by senior MG Fire compliance managers, and the computer generated reminders are sent to MG Fire personnel to ensure compliance can be met.

Your MG Fire account manager will attend your site to confirm if all Essential Fire Safety Measures are performing to the appropriate standards and have been maintained during the past 12 months according to the conditions of the Occupancy Permit (if applicable).

During this Annual Onsite Audit of the onsite records, MG Fire performs the required AS1851-2012 Survey in order to identify whether there has been any occupancy or building alterations which may have compromised the currently installed Fire Protection Equipment or which may require additional or different Fire Protection Equipment to be installed. These checks would be necessary before the Annual Statement or Report can be signed.
