SC Transfer - Fire Safety

This blog post is part of the transfer of information to the new Strata Committee in reference to Fire Safety. There had been major confusion about fire safety in our building with:

• dilapidated fire safety equipment;
• an audit report comparing our 1980's building to recent building codes with a long list of non-compliances;
• a commissioned cost estimate with a very high 'price tag' to  bring our building up to compliance with those more recent building codes; and
• uncertainty of asbestos in our fire doors.

Over the past year, I investigated a range of fire safety compliance issues and presented to owners a more rational approach of focusing on our statutory requirements rather than comparison to current building codes. We now have regular assessment of our fire safety measures and a defects list which we must have compliant each year; and we have eliminated the uncertainty of our fire doors with negative asbestos test results.
The following links are to various blog posts which document this journey to a rational fire safety approach:

• 10 March 2021 - Fire Safety Inspection www.42vp.blog#FS210223

After the 10 March 2021 biannual fire safety inspection, a defects list and cost estimate for repairs were sent to Bright & Duggan. At that time, there was instability with our strata management. Our new strata manager and our new strata committee are now well prepared to begin repairing and maintaining our fire safety equipment in preparation for our first Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) to be kept on file on the Bright & Duggan portal and on our building's notice board.
