All buildings in New South Wales are required by law to abide by the Planning and Assessment Regulations Act. Non-compliance to these regulations can result in legal consequences and fines. As part of your responsibility as a building owner, you must conduct an annual check of all buildings and fire equipment to update your Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS).
These annual inspections will include checking the:
- Fire extinguishers (AS 1851)
- Fire blankets (AS 1851)
- Fire hose reels (AS 1851)
- Exit & emergency lights (AS 2293)
- Hydrant systems (AS 1851)
- Fire & smoke doors (AS 1851)
- Fire & smoke detection systems (AS 1851)
- Sprinkler systems (AS 1851)
- Emergency evacuation diagrams (AS 3745)
- Any other fire safety equipment
Once you acquire an Annual Fire Safety Statement, that means your building’s fire safety measures have been deemed an acceptable level to minimise dangers in the event of a fire.

Certified Safety
FPAS Accredited
The Fire Protection Accreditation Scheme (FPAS) is a program that was launched in July 2013. It is the only national accreditation scheme that recognises the skills and competencies of individuals working in the fire protection industry. Accredited assessors are able to perform thorough fire safety inspections, as well as provide fire system designs. We extend our services to commercial and industrial properties, including schools, aged care facilities and local council premises.
To acquire an Annual Fire Safety Statement, it must be approved by an FPAS-accredited assessor. Without a valid certificate, the building is not deemed safe for occupation. The certificate must be supplied to your local council and to Fire & Rescue NSW, as well as being prominently displayed in the building. To book your annual inspection, get in touch with Safe Industries Group today.

FAQs
Everything You Need To Know
What are essential fire safety measures in NSW?
Essential fire safety measures are the fire protection systems and equipment installed in a building to protect occupants during a fire. These typically include fire extinguishers, fire blankets, hose reels, hydrant systems, sprinklers, detection systems, fire and smoke doors, exit and emergency lighting and evacuation diagrams. Each must be maintained to a specific standard, such as AS 1851 for fire equipment and AS 2293 for emergency lighting, with building owners legally responsible for compliance.
What is an Annual Fire Safety Statement and who needs one?
An Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) confirms all essential fire safety measures in a building have been assessed by an accredited practitioner and meet the required standard. In NSW, owners of most commercial, industrial and shared residential buildings must submit an AFSS every 12 months. It must be lodged with the local council and Fire & Rescue NSW, displayed in the building and completed by an accredited assessor, with late lodgement attracting escalating penalties.
How often do fire extinguishers need to be serviced in Australia?
Under AS 1851, portable fire extinguishers in workplaces and commercial buildings must be inspected every six months to check they're correctly located, fully charged, undamaged and carrying a current service tag. Most types also require pressure testing and refilling every five years. Hose reels and fire blankets follow the same six-monthly schedule, and regular servicing helps satisfy Annual Fire Safety Statement requirements while ensuring equipment works when needed.
