When it comes to Strata fire safety, prevention is always better than reaction. We emphasise a proactive approach by offering Strata Managers tailored packages to suit their property needs, which means you can minimise stress, stay on schedule with compliance, and avoid unnecessary costs.
Sub-optimal operators may just sign off on work orders and AFSS to keep everyone happy without ensuring that the the work is actually done to standard, but here at Betta Fire Protection we never leave people or property exposed to risk. We go the extra mile to ensure everything is both compliant and high-quality to prevent fire hazards before they appear.
Can you provide a quote over the phone?
We generally price on a point rate. So, the number of extinguishers, detectors, fire doors, emergency lights, etc., that are required to be inspected, tested, maintained, repaired or certified will determine the price of the quote. We can provide a quote over the phone if we are given all this information and all the required standards and legislation we need to work on for the specific property. Alternatively, we can send someone to the site to provide obligation-free quotes. We often find we are not given all the information over the phone; therefore, there are variations once we get to the site. So, we prefer to come to the site. Note: Consultation and investigation work on site is chargeable.
What are the fire safety requirements for strata properties?
Fire safety requirements are generally defined by the National Code of Construction, EPA, and WHS legislation. The NCC defines multi-dwelling buildings, but Strata is not specifically mentioned. We can assist you in understanding what requirements are necessary depending on your building.
Who is responsible for fire safety in a strata property?
Under the legislation, the building owner is responsible for maintaining the fire safety systems. In the case of strata, the Body Corporate or Owner’s Corporation is considered the building owner.
How often should fire safety equipment be inspected?
Australian Standard 1851 recommends when fire safety equipment should be inspected. The EPA states the building must be maintained, and an Annual Fire Safety Statement must be made by the building owner.
What should I do if I notice a fire safety hazard in the building?
If someone is in danger or at a high risk of danger, call the fire brigade or emergency services. If there is a lower risk, the person identifying the risk should do what they can to make it safe without endangering themselves. If they can’t make it safe, they should report it to the building owner/Body Corp/Strata Manager. Our routine maintenance and test & inspect services will notify you of any fire safety hazards and offer advice on how to rectify it.
Are fire drills mandatory in strata properties?
WHS legislation defines when a work environment requires fire drills. If it is a requirement on the Fire Safety Schedule and AFSS, then yes. If you’re unsure, contact us, and our team can assist in clarifying what applies to your specific property.
Are there special fire safety considerations for high-rise strata buildings?
Special fire safety considerations for high-rise buildings are defined by the NCC, regardless of whether the building is strata or not. High-rise buildings generally have extra consideration for the extended evacuation routes and the requirement to contain a fire.
