Does Your OC Manager Property Manager Understand AS1851 and AS3000?

Ensuring the safety and compliance of your building starts with understanding key standards like AS1851 (routine service of fire protection systems) and AS3000 (the Australian electrical wiring rules). These regulations play a critical role in keeping your building operational and safe for its occupants. Yet, many Owners Corporation (OC) managers or property managers may not fully grasp their implications, leading to potential risks. It’s not just about ticking compliance boxes but making informed decisions that enhance your asset’s long-term value and safety.

Is Your OC Committee Equipped to Make Informed Decisions?

An educated OC committee is vital for effective building management. Does your committee include members with property expertise? Without a strong knowledge base, crucial decisions might rely too heavily on third parties, like tradies, without verifying if their actions align with your building’s regulatory requirements. Statements like “I trust my tradies” are common, but do these tradies understand AS1851, AS3000, or the Fire Engineering Report (FER) for your building? If your property was constructed after 1990, there’s a high likelihood it has an FER—an essential tool for tracking and maintaining building assets.
