Fire Safety Advisor
Things don’t always go to plan. ERG can help you prepare to deal with fire compliance in order to reduce your liability and increase your safety.
QLD fire legislation requires Fire Safety Advisers (FSAs) for buildings that come under the definition of “high occupancy”. This means if you have an occupancy of more than 30 people (not just employees) in your building, you are required to appoint a Fire Safety adviser (FSA) for your business – but they do not need to be staff! ERG can provide appropriate evacuation training to staff, and to help organise first and evacuation plan and practice. Our Fire Safety Adviser Service eliminates the risk and cost of having to replace your own FSA if they move on. When it comes to evacuation planning, instruction and practice, you can be confident that our Fire Safety Adviser Service ensures your compliance with the training and instruction requirements of the Queensland Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008.
