The Fire and Rescue Service Act 1990 places legal and mandatory responsibilities for the owner/occupier of all licensed buildings to have formalised and relevant emergency procedures and site diagrams.
Evacuation diagrams in addition to the required written emergency evacuation plans are varied due to the diverse classes of buildings and classifications issued under the Building ACT and Building Code of Australia guidelines.
This diversity requires a range of tailored emergency procedures to be formulated to ensure individual businesses legal obligations are met. BARS Consultants have furnished evacuation diagrams and plans for a wide range of clients throughout Queensland, including adult entertainment venues, nightclubs, large budget accommodation premises such as backpacker hostels, restaurants, training academies and commercial buildings.
