Spartan Fire \u2019s design team is a leading service provider of emergency evacuation diagrams for all applications.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IMPORTANT: Queensland has specific requirements for evacuation diagrams in its Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 (BSFR 2008).<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Should be Included in an Evacuation Diagram?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Evacuation Diagram should consist of a pictorial representation of the floor or area of a building and other relevant emergency response information as set out in AS 3745-2010. These diagrams are intended to provide emergency and evacuation information for occupants and visitors and contain information such as:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group archive-copy is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exit lights and exit routes<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Assembly points\/areas<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Emergency information<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Portable and fixed firefighting equipment<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Manual call points (MCP)\/communication equipment.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Fire control rooms<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Emergency procedures<\/li>\n\n\n<li>The date the diagram was created and when it is valid until.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>The site name and full address.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group archive-copy is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where Should Evacuation Diagrams be Displayed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following are the key requirements for displaying evacuation diagrams:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group archive-copy is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 where occupants and visitors can view them.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Position<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 diagram should be positioned at a height not less than 1200mm and not more than 1600mm above the ground.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Orientation<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 each should have the correct orientation with regard to the direction of egress (exit route) and its location to the \u2018YOU ARE HERE\u2019 point.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group archive-copy is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where an assembly area map is included, it should have the same orientation as the rest of the diagram.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Often do Evacuation Diagrams Need to be Updated?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately upon creating changes to the layout of the building or when adding or removing equipment and systems, then the emergency evacuation diagrams must be updated. If no changes have occurred, then the evacuation diagrams should be reviewed annually and upgraded every 5 years. The validity date is a requirement on all evacuation diagrams.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Expect When Choosing Spartan Fire<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spartan Fire will design and produce customised evacuation diagrams for your site to meet regulatory requirements.
