Victorian Building Legislation has made it mandatory for both building owners and occupiers to fulfil their roles in ensuring that Essential Safety Measures are maintained and are performing as required.
A requirement of the Essential Safety Measures audit, ESM, is that a ”means of egress and exit door maintenance” inspection is carried out on a quarterly basis.
For the purpose of this inspection:
1. Means of egress applies to walkways internally and externally and all doorways and openings used to get to an open space or street.
2. The automatic doors located in the corridor near area 7 and area 8 and in reception are designed to open in the event of a fire alarm or power failure. Quarterly inspection of the automatic doors is carried out by Dorma.
3. The dual locking doors located between area 3/area 4 and area 4/area 7(lab) are designed to unlock in the event of a fire alarm or power failure. (Quarterly inspection to be scheduled) -
Each year the audit is due for completion:
*March
