Is your evacuation plan still current?

Yes. Regulation 43 of the Work Health and Safety (National Uniform Legislation) Regulations says every workplace must prepare, maintain and implement an emergency plan, with no size threshold. Evacuation diagrams are the standard way to show the evacuation part of it. NT WorkSafe enforces it, with fines of up to $6,000 for individuals and $30,000 for companies.

For many, yes. Under the Fire and Emergency Regulations, owners of listed buildings, which include offices, shops and warehouses, have extra duties, such as instructing workers within 30 days of starting and then every year.

Whoever controls the space. Tenants cover the area inside their lease line, and building owners, usually through the property manager, cover shared areas like lobbies and car parks. In multi-tenant buildings both apply, so we map it out and make sure every area is covered once.

One invoice to the owner through the property manager, with each tenancy itemised separately. As each tenancy's compliance is the tenant's obligation under the NT WHS Regulations, those lines can be recharged to the relevant tenant, subject to the lease.

A signed compliance certificate, an emergency management manual we keep up to date, and a digital audit pack you can send in minutes. Every diagram carries its issue date, so it's clear when the next review is due.

Under AS 3745, diagrams should be reviewed at least every five years, and sooner if the building changes. A new fit-out, a moved exit, a new assembly area or a tenant change all mean it's time for an update.

When the law or AS 3745 changes, we let you know and update the affected plans. When your building changes, tell us and we'll redraw. Either way, you're never left holding an out-of-date plan.

Yes. We review what's on the wall, walk the building for changes, redraw what's out of date and swap the frames. It's usually quicker than starting from scratch.

AS 3745, the Australian Standard for planning for emergencies in facilities. Each diagram shows exits, evacuation routes, fire equipment, the assembly area, a 'you are here' marker and a legend, drawn for the exact spot it hangs in.

Most jobs go from site assessment to plans on the wall within 21 days. Bigger multi-level sites can take a little longer, and we'll give you a date up front.

It depends on the number of levels, tenancies and diagrams, and whether we're starting fresh or updating. The site assessment is free, and you'll get a clear, itemised quote before any work starts.
