Detector Inspector’s essential fire safety service provides peace of mind that your essential safety measures are compliant and that you can secure your Annual Essential Safety Measures Report each year.

Essential fire safety saves lives

Essential fire safety measures include all the fire and safety items in a building such as fire exits and fire doors, sprinklers, extinguishers and fire detection systems.

Every fire safety measure in the building must be regularly checked and tested, and its compliance certified in accordance with the Building Code, Building Regulations and the applicable Australian Standards. The building’s Annual Essential Safety Measures Report, or “AESMR” must be documented each year by or on behalf of the owner to show that all required servicing and checks have been completed.

Let us take care of your essential safety measures and AESMR

Our comprehensive services span the full range of essential safety measures for every classification of building. We can also cover all compliance requirements, including any required rectifications, to enable the issue of your AESMR.

Our industry leading service and digital audit trail which includes extensive reporting and photos, ensures building occupants are safe and landlords, tenants and agents are protected in the event of an incident.

With all year-round protection, our essential fire safety service includes:

  • Wet and dry fire systems testing

    Ensuring sprinklers, fire equipment, fire indicator panels and emergency lights are compliant is essential for fire safety.

  • Mechanical services testing

    Servicing of mechanical services including ventilation, CO monitoring and air conditioning makes them more efficient and safer.

  • A complete audit as required for AESMR

    Our trained technicians can complete all checks required for the AESMR including egress and passive fire items

  • Detailed assessment against all Australian standards

    Tests and comprehensive safety check of the property against the Australian standards. Our trained technicians digitally record and store all test results as a record of compliance.

  • Our promise

    Rapid emergency response and resolution of all defects with a best price guarantee on all rectification works

  • AESMR Report

    Our dedicated account managers will do what is needed to secure your AESMR on schedule

What are Essential Safety Measures?

Essential safety measures are the fire and safety items within a building that ensure a level of health and safety to its occupants. Essential safety measures include all the fire and safety items in a building: fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, fire hoses and hydrants, blankets, exit signs, exit doors, fire detection systems and much more.

The Building Code of Australia defines which essential safety measures are required within a building. The Australian Standards then determines the level of maintenance that is required to service the essential safety measures.

The requirements for installation and maintenance of essential safety measures may depend on the age of the building. Properties built after 1st July 1994 will have their essential services outlined in a Certificate of Occupancy, whereas properties built prior to 1st July 1994 that have essential safety measures are required to be serviced as per the relevant Australian Standards.

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the essential safety measures are installed, serviced and maintained according to regulations.
