-
3.17 - SURVEY all areas of the building from floor level.
Note: the purpose of the annual survey is to identify component degradation and building changes that may impact on the system or equipment performance. It is a visual inspection, typically conducted from floor level. it is designed to identify the potential for further investigation to assess any changes to the occupancy, environment or building that may affect the performance of the fire safety system or equipment.
Where the outcome of the survey identifies the need for further investigation, it is recommended that a Fire Safety Audit in accordance with AS 4655 be undertaken by an appropriately qualified professional. An audit will support a responsible entity in satisfying themselves that nay changes made to the fire safety system, building or occupancy are fully compliant with any applicable legislative requirements. -
Has the occupant been in the building for the previous 12 months?
-
Have there been any additions or alterations (minor or major) made to the building in the last 12 months?
-
Have there been any changes made to the occupancy of the building?
-
Have any of the fire safety systems or equipment in the building been altered or undergone major repairs in the last 12 months?
-
