Fire Safety Assessment

Fire Safety Assessment (FSA) – We assess/certify compliance or highlight non-compliance of your current system to help you prepare for your Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS).

The Fire Safety Assessment (FSA) – class of FPAS Accreditation accredits individuals who undertake an assessment of the performance capability of fire safety measures (FSMs) for the purpose of informing an annual or supplementary fire safety statement. This class of accreditation has been designed to address the requirements for certain fire protection work in New South Wales to be carried out by a ‘competent fire safety practitioner’, under the state’s 2017 fire safety reforms.

The role of the Fire Safety Assessor (FSA) is to satisfy the competent fire safety practitioner aspects of Part 9 Division 5 of the EP&A Regulation to:

Identify the standard of performance to which Fire Safety Measures (FSM) are required to operate and perform;
Assess (inspect and verify) that FSM’s are operating and performing as required;
Inspect exits and paths of travel to exit to ensure there is no offence under the Regulation (as applicable); and
Complete the CFSP aspects of the approved Fire Safety Statement Form for annual or supplementary fire safety statements.
