Smoke Alarm Legislation
It’s not an option, smoke alarm legislation is the law. Let Australia’s leading provider of smoke alarm maintenance and compliance services provide your landlords and you with the PEACE OF MIND in knowing all legislative obligations have been met.
Your Responsibilities
Smoke alarm maintenance is governed by both State and Federal legislation. Each state has different requirements. As a Property Manager, Landlords entrust you with one of their greatest investments, which is a sizeable responsibility. Smoke Alarm Solutions aims to ease the burden by ensuring the properties you manage are always compliant with smoke alarm legislation.
The Risks
Failure to take every practical step to ensure the safety of your tenants and property may result in the dismissal of insurance claims for damage, personal injury or loss of life. Landlords must ensure working smoke alarms are installed in their rental properties, in accordance with the Building Code of Australia and Australian Standards. Landlords must also ensure smoke alarms are regularly maintained and replaced when faulty or expired. Landlords who do not meet mandated requirements in order to ensure the safety of their tenants can face a multitude of unpleasant and unwanted consequences that, with the right guidance, can be easily avoided.
Federal Legislation
Current Requirements means the legislative requirements stipulated by the Development Regulation 2008 and the National Construction Code. Considerations around compliance of the smoke alarms at the Inspection Address are the types of smoke alarms and smoke alarm installations, build dates, including dates of significant renovations, and building classes.
