    Fire Training - Fire Safety Regulations 2008 and Australian Standards 3745-2010

    As per the Australian Standards, Fire Brigade Regulations and Government Legislation all businesses in Australia must conduct Evacuation Training  and First Response Fire Training every two years and the Emergency Response Organisation and Fire Warden Training annually as a minimum.

    This is led by a trained Fire Safety Advisor.

    At FCF Sunshine Coast we have fully trained staff to conduct such training

    For the Evacuation Training we work with the Fire Warden Team to identify high risk areas in the building, point out locations of Fire Safety Assets (Fire Extinguishers, Hose Reels)

    If there is a Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) we discuss how to use that and the process of evacuating the building to a safe place. We include a real evacuation in that session.

    For First Response to Fire Emergency (Fire Extinguisher Training) we discuss how “fire” works, different classes of fire, different types of extinguishers. This is followed by hands on us of extinguishers.

    Please contact FCF Sunshine Coast for further information

    FIP Panels – Fire Detection Systems

    Buildings of a certain size and classification are required to have an FIP (Fire Indicator Panel) connected to smoke & heat detectors.

    These are part of a Fire Detection System, with smoke and heat detectors located through the building.

    Australian Standards and Government Regulations stipulate these Fire Detection Systems are checked regularly to ensure maximum efficiency.

    The FIP itself must be checked monthly to ensure no faults or alarms showing, and an annual service which testes to ensure the smoke and heat detectors are working properly.

    Test and Tag AS3760

    Ensuring your electrical equipment meets the Workplace Health and Safety Regulations is very important in Queensland. FCF inspect electrical items to AS3760. RCD testing or otherwise known as Safety Switch’s carry a requirement to be tested in Queensland businesses. The testing has two tests per year, the first test being a push button test, this is a simple test to ensure that the internals react in a timely manner with no delay to test facility. A yearly test can be performed in two ways, normally with an Electrician and without. An electrician with an observer (trained in switchboard rescue) can remove the switchboard cover and access all the relevant test points efficiently. A non Electrician will use a RCD test meter to determine if the RCD phases react to below 300ms. Find out which option is cost effective for your business contact FCF Fire & Electrical.

    Hydrants – AS1851

    Buildings of a certain size and classification are required to have Fire Hydrant to supply water for the brigade to fight fires.

    Australian Standards and Government Regulations stipulate these Hydrants are checked regularly to ensure maximum efficiency.

    They are tested to ensure water supply at the correct pressure. The individual valves are checked every six months to ensure water supply and every 12 months a Pressure/Flow Test is conducted.
