Do the new regulations apply to my Business and/or my Building?

I am a only a Small Business so will this really affect me?

How do I figure out my Building Classification?

What is a High Occupancy Building?

What if I am sharing the premises with another Small Business?

I already have Emergency Exit Diagrams, Evacuation Plan and Maps so why aren't they still compliant?

I am a Body Corporate Manager of a Commercial Building, how should I manager this?

I am the Owner of a Building with Multiple Tenants (Occupiers or Lessees) what are my responsibilities?

Emergency Planning, Training and Risk Management

Our company already has a detailed Management Structure, how will the new regulations impact this?

Is it possible to have everything implemented and managed by one person or entity?

Our Occupational Health and Safety Responsibilities are too hard to manage, can you do this for us?

Can I get my emergency evacuation diagrams, maps, plan, Fire Warden Training, First Response Training, Duty of Care for Management and Employee Training all Managed By another company?

What about Mandatory Legislative Obligations? How do I know if we are compliant?

How can we possibly keep up to date with all these New Regulations and Legislation Changes?

We are only a Small Business, does EVAC have a Complete Package that is Cost Effective for Small Businesses?

These are just some of the common questions we are commonly asked. If you have a question related in any way about Occupational Health and Safety, Building Safety or Fire and Emergency Topics Please Feel Free to Contact Us or better still, BLOG IT!

Topic 1 Blog 1

Emergency Evacuation Diagrams and Mandatory Changes.

Have your existing pre 2008 Exit Maps or Evacuation Diagram been updated?

We will outline the changes enforced by the Queensland Building Regulations 2008 which is now in Full Implementation as of 1 July 2009.

If you missed the 12 month opportunity to update your premises to full compliance you are risking heavy on the spot Infringement Notices and Fines as set out by the Legislation.

We will be discussing this in our First Blog coming soon.

To help you prepare any questions you may have we have provided a free sample diagram below.

This is a sample of an EVAC Emergency Fire Evacuation Diagram compliant with the new Regulations.

Compare it with your existing Exit Diagram

2. Craig H wrote:: Hi, your emergency evacuation diagrams are clear and consise. Is it necessary to put a fire extinguisher table on diagrams where there is no on site management. Also, how are evacuation coordination procedures given to an evacuation coordinator in a commercial building and fire and evacuation plans stored in a commercial property where the buildings property manager (the managing entity) is in control of the common property and yet the manager does not work on site. Each tenant (secondary occupier) has their own evac coordinator and fire and evac plans inside their tenancy.

You can continue to use AS3745-2002 as your preference for ECO set up and
training, however, once you finish the project you will need to comply with
the new QLD BFSR legislation, this is when we can assist you with your
diagrams and plans. If you would like to discuss your options in more detail please go to the contact us page in order to directly identify how we can provide solutions to your requirements.

Thank you!
