When should a fire safety audit be completed?

Fire safety audits are not static documents – rather they are intended to be dynamic, reflective of current fire safety regulations, the National Construction Code, state-based building regulations and WHS regulations, and changing in line with variations to your building or workplace, changes to equipment or hazardous substances used or stored at the building, and in response to any fire-related incidents or accidents.

To ensure that fire safety processes, procedures and equipment, components and systems are adequate and functioning correctly, a fire safety audit should be completed at least annually. Fire safety audits may be undertaken more regularly, in response to:

changes to the structure, size or layout of your building or worksite

increases in the number of staff or visitors present at your workplace

changes to the use and/or storage of new or existing hazardous substances at your workplace

the introduction or removal of new equipment or machinery at your workplace
