Thank you all, & apologies for my delay in replying.
I have sourced the original Australian Standards document as described by George M, from my State Library here in NSW. It does indeed state that these fire exit diagrams are required in the common areas of all facilities. It does not define facilities, but in all probability it includes multi-residential buildings, as an amendment to clause 3.5.5, note 2, it includes in facilities office floors, warehouses etc. George, can you help here? George, thanks for your other info too.
Bonnie L, yes, I’ll suggest to the committee that they discuss our proposed diagrams with the fire dept & possibly the council.I’ll also suggest that they be passed by our insurers, who have been informed that we are undertaking rectification work.
g-g, it appears that you have been wrongly advised re the need for exit diagrams. Also, our aim is to institute some fire training in due course, which will include encouraging people to actually read the exit diagrams ahead of time.
