New South Wales Requirement – Competent Fire Safety Practitioner (CFSP) – Vertical Transport – Essential Fire Safety Measures
In 2017 the NSW Government implemented a suite of building regulatory reforms, largely with respect to fire safety. These regulations required a Competent Fire Safety Practitioner (CFSP), to assess the performance of Essential Fire Safety Measures (EFSM) for the purposes of Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS).
NSW Government changes, mean that a CFSP must hold accreditation under the Fire Protection Accreditation Scheme (FPAS) and be registered with the Fire Protection Authority Australia (FPAA). To the AEA’s knowledge, none of the Australian Elevators Association (AEA) members currently hold this accreditation. It will be a commercial decision for individual members if they wish to obtain such accreditation.
AEA members have received many requests from their customers requesting that they sign an AFSS in the capacity of a Competent Fire Safety Practitioner. It must be noted that unless you are registered as a CFSP, AEA members cannot sign an AFSS in the capacity of a Competent Fire Safety Practitioner.
High Safe Australia and our Safety Partners can provide these Essential Safety Services.
