11 simple steps that define a process designed to help building owners establish an essential safety measures maintenance program that achieves compliance.

Maintenance of Emergency & Exit Lights

Emergency & Exit lighting systems are an Essential Safety Measure and must be maintained in a operational condition to which they were intended. To verify the performance of each fitting or system lights are required to inspected and tested periodically (6-monthly) by carrying out a specific maintenance and test regime.

The following Codes and Australian Standards apply to the installation and maintenance of emergency and exit lighting systems:

AS2293.1-1995 Emergency evacuation and lighting in buildings. System design, installation and operation.

Aspirating Smoke Detection

rporteous — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 15:00:20 +1000

An aspirating smoke detector is a type of smoke detector, based on a [[wp:nephelometer]] that is capable of detecting the presence of microscopic particles of combustion also known as (smoke) suspended in air by detecting the light scattered from the smoke particles in a sampling chamber.

In the context of [[wp:smoke detection]], the word aspirate means to draw in, which illustrates the basis for how these smoke detectors operate. In most cases aspirating smoke detectors require a fan unit to draw in a representative sample of air from the protected area.

Building Classifications

The BCA is a nationally consistent technical document that represents the level of safety that meets community expectations. Compliance with the BCA is the responsibility of local government authorities.

The BCA provides a classification system for a building or part of a building and is determined by the purpose for which it is designed, constructed or adapted to be used.
