Responding to a Fire Safety Order

Fire Safety Orders are issued by a Local Government or Council where the level of fire safety within a building is found to be inadequate. The notice will indicate the terms of the proposed order, the proposed period of compliance and the period in which representation must be made to the council officer who has issued the order. Fire Safety Orders are serious and must be complied with fully and swiftly.

We are experienced in supporting clients return to compliance when a Fire Safety Order has been issued.

Post Incident Management and Debriefs

Similar to responding to a Fire Safety Order, post incident management and appropriate debriefing across WHS and fire related emergencies in the workplace is a critical element to effective ongoing risk management.

Our experienced team of professionals can assist your business in the aftermath of an incident to ensure that all issues are closed out effectively and ongoing risk management strengthens your ability to ‘Prevent and Prepare’, so you don’t need to ‘Recover.’
