AESMR
AESMR Audit Reports, Legally Required by Building Regulations and Victorian Building Authority
As per the legal requirement of the Building Regulations and Victorian Building Authority, building owners must ensure that the Essential Safety Measures in their buildings are operating at the required performance level and are routinely maintained. All owners of commercial buildings or places of public entertainment must complete an Annual Essential Safety Measures Report (AESMR) and have it readily available for review by the Chief Officer or Municipal Building Surveyor.
The Importance of an AESMR Report
An AESMR audit report is a legal requirement of the Building Regulations and must be readily available for inspection by the Chief Officer or Municipal Building Surveyor. By ensuring that your building is up to code and all essential safety measures are met, you are taking precautions to secure the safety of the building’s occupants, passers-by, adjoining structures and their occupants. Geokal Services will help you achieve and maintain your ESM compliance.
- This report can assist in monitoring the safety standards, equipment and emergency procedures of your building.
- Since the audit is based on the previous 12 months, it guarantees that checks are done regularly. Any faults with the building structure can be detected early and rectified before any severe damage occurs or someone gets injured.
- Regular checking of safety equipment ensures that it will function correctly should the need arise to use it.
