Fire Safety Audits in Geelong, Melbourne & Regional Victoria

A fire safety audit is more than a checklist, it’s a comprehensive review of your building’s fire protection systems, evacuation procedures, and compliance with relevant fire safety regulations. Whether you manage a commercial property, residential complex, healthcare facility, or public venue, our audits are designed to protect lives, property, and your peace of mind.

What is a Fire Safety Audit?

A fire safety audit is a systematic assessment of a building’s fire safety measures to ensure they meet the requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC), Building Regulations 2018, and relevant Australian Standards. It typically includes:

  • Inspection of fire detection and alarm systems
  • Review of emergency lighting and exit signage
  • Evaluation of fire hydrants, hose reels, and extinguishers
  • Assessment of evacuation plans and egress paths
  • Verification of maintenance records and Essential Safety Measures

Audits are tailored to the building’s classification, use, and risk profile.
