Essential Fire Safety Measures Inspections & Audits : EPAR

Essential Property Services provides Essential Fire Safety Measures Inspection and Audit service that complies with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2000 (EPAR), Section I Maintenance Building Code of Australia and the expectations of local councils and the Commissioner of NSW Fire Brigades. Inspection results are provided in our New South Wales based essential fire safety measures compliant logbooks. Essential fire safety measures inspections can be categorised as either passive, (such as paths of travel to exits, fire rated elements) or active (such as fire services and exit lights).

Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2000EPS communicates with clients to develop a biannual or annual essential fire safety measures inspection regime (with the number of essential fire safety measures inspections required determined by statutory documentation such as the Fire Safety Schedule, or by the client). Once the client agrees on proposed essential fire safety measures inspection dates, we perform inspections of the building with little or no disruption to tenants. Our building assessors have backgrounds in building inspection, building surveying, or building maintenance and are capable of thoroughly assessing your building and producing outcomes to achieve regulatory compliance with your essential fire safety measure inspection obligations.
