Why do we need to be compliant with AS3745?

Under the Australia Health and Safety Act, all businesses and individuals involved in property management have an obligation to provide a safe environment to allow their workers to carry out their job without any risks to their personal health and safety.

Australian Standard 3745:2010 Planning For Emergencies in Facilities provides a detailed framework for dealing with emergencies within a facility. The standard provides best practice guidelines to prevent, identify and respond to any type of emergency, ensuring the safety of all staff and occupants. To find out more information on AS3745:2010 and why we need to comply, download our AS3745:2010 Infographic.

Why is it important to record and maintain your emergency management activity?

Property Owners and Managers are responsible for ensuring their fire safety and emergency response systems are compliant with Australian Standard AS 3745-2010: Planning for Emergencies in Facilities. To meet compliance, all training must be recorded to show as evidence.

To meet compliance, properties must provide evidence of the following:

  • Training event reporting including dates and details of material covered
  • Training event attendance registers
  • Up to date Warden List
  • Emergency Management Plan, which includes having current Evacuation Diagrams and a valid Emergency Management Manual. Both these documents need to be renewed every 5 years.
