On the successful completion of this program you will be issued with a record of your participation. A copy of this record must be given to your employer for their files. As per the legislation, you should then be given orientation to your building-specific fire and emergency procedures including: the location of first response fire fighting equipment, manual alarm points, fire stairs and the evacuation assembly point. It is also expected that you will participate in a building evacuation drill on an annual basis.
As an occupant or owner of a building it is mandatory by law to ensure the safety of every person in that building in case of a fire or emergency situation. This program must be completed every 12 months to remain compliant with the National Building Code of Australia as well as State Statutory requirements.
