Fire Evacuation Plan

Is your Fire Evacuation Plan and Emergency Evacuation Diagram designed to the specified format and compliance?

Why work with Australian Fire Protection?

Australian Fire Protection have designed Fire Evacuation Plan (FEP) / Fire Safety Management Plans for businesses of all types and sizes throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast and South East Queensland. This includes schools, factories, hospitals, retail shops, aged-care, hospitals, childcare facilities and budget accommodation.

The Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 requires all buildings to have a written Fire Evacuation Plan that details the policies and procedures of the business when responding to fire and other emergencies. If you don’t have this for your business, it’s vital that you contact us so we can help you establish a FEP that best suits you and your premises.

Not sure if your Written Fire Evacuation Plan is to the specified form? Check that it contains the following:

• Relevant approval documents, i.e. Building Certificate of Occupancy/Classification, Building Fire Safety Installations list, alternative building solutions, and fire safety management plan procedures (if applicable)
• The Building Fire Evacuation Sign / Fire Evacuation Diagram
• Procedures for giving Fire and Evacuation Instructions 
• The Evacuation Coordination procedures for the building
• Instructions for evacuating the building safely in the event of a fire or hazardous materials emergency
• The inclusion of operation methods for firefighting equipment and manually operated fire alarms in the building
• Name, address and contact details for the building, the owner, and the occupier
• The Evacuation Coordinator for the building
• Your Fire Safety Adviser’s contact details and accreditation details, if applicable.
