Most businesses don’t think about fire safety certification until it’s due. And by then, there’s often a problem. Missed servicing. Incomplete records. Or systems that don’t meet the required standard.
That’s when things become urgent – and expensive. Forster Fire Services helps you stay ahead of this.
We provide professional certification services to ensure your building remains fully compliant with NSW fire safety regulations. Every commercial and multi occupancy residential building constructed after 1984 is required to submit an Annual Fire Safety Statement to the local council and Fire and Rescue NSW. Our team specialises in managing this process to ensure your property meets all legal obligations.
Navigating fire safety legislation can be complex for property owners and managers. We take the stress out of compliance by providing thorough inspections and the necessary documentation to certify that your essential fire safety measures are functioning correctly. From Forster to the New England region, we are your trusted partner in fire safety certification.
Maintaining a compliant building requires more than just a yearly check. It involves ongoing vigilance and a deep understanding of the relevant Australian Standards. Our technicians are highly trained to identify potential issues before they become compliance failures, saving you time and preventing costly last minute repairs during the certification window.
We work with a diverse range of clients across the Mid North Coast including retail centres, industrial sites, and strata managed buildings. Whether you are located in Tuncurry, Coffs Harbour, or inland in Tamworth, we provide a consistent and reliable certification service that keeps your insurance valid and your occupants safe.
The certification process involves a detailed assessment of the essential fire safety measures installed within your premises. Our team is qualified to inspect and certify a comprehensive list of safety components required for your annual statement, including:
Once our inspections are complete, we provide clear and accurate reporting that details the status of your fire safety measures. If any defects are found, we offer transparent advice and efficient repair services to bring your building back into compliance. Our goal is to make the path to your Annual Fire Safety Statement as straightforward as possible.
Choosing Forster Fire Services means choosing a team that understands the local landscape and the specific requirements of regional councils. We take pride in our attention to detail and our commitment to professional integrity. Protect your investment and your people by partnering with the local experts in fire safety certification.
An Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) is a document issued by or on behalf of the building owner. It confirms that all essential fire safety measures have been inspected and verified by a competent fire safety practitioner to be functioning correctly.
Your statement is due on the same date every year. This date is generally determined by the date your first fire safety certificate was issued. Most local councils in the Forster and Mid North Coast region will send a reminder letter before the due date.
If an essential service fails an inspection, our team will provide a clear report and a quote for the necessary repairs. Once the defect is rectified, we can then issue the certification required for your statement.
While the legal responsibility to lodge the statement lies with the building owner, our team provides the necessary signed documentation and can guide you through the submission process to your local council or Fire and Rescue NSW.
