A fire safety order is a mandatory requirement, not a recommendation.
When issued by a local authority, all specified rectification works must be completed within the required timeframe and may be subject to a final compliance inspection.
Beyond formal fire safety orders, routine inspections and testing in accordance with AS 1851 can identify system faults, non-compliant components, and deficiencies requiring repairs, upgrades, or complete system replacements.
Failing to address identified deficiencies can expose building owners to significant safety risks, regulatory consequences, and potential liability. Prompt rectification is essential to maintaining fire safety compliance and protecting building occupants and assets.
