What are Essential Safety Measures (ESM)?

ESMs are all fire safety measures and systems installed in your building to protect life and property from fires.

All commercial buildings have some degree of ESMs.

To ensure ESMs correctly operate in an emergency, they must be routinely tested to relevant Australian Standards and Building Occupancy Permits.

What is My Obligation as Building Owner?

All commercial building owners and in some cases tenants have a legal obligation to ensure all their ESMs are correctly maintained and in correct working order.
