This policy applies to the issue and security of keys to NSWFB premises. It also applies to padlocks. It does not apply to keys held by the NSWFB to other premises.
This policy applies to all NSWFB staff and to anyone else who is issued a key to NSWFB premises.
If you are issued with a key, you are responsible for that key and for maintaining the security of the premises the key gives you access to.
You must not lend your key to anyone else, inside or outside the NSWFB.
If you change workplaces or positions, or leave the NSWFB, and are no longer authorised to have a key that has been issued to you, you must return your key to your Commander or Manager.
If you lose a key, or your key is stolen, you must report the loss immediately to your Commander or Manager.
Commanders and Managers are responsible for:
• maintaining the security of NSWFB premises they are responsible for
• authorising the issue of keys to staff, volunteers, contractors or other people they are responsible for
• maintaining a current register of who has been issued keys
• doing regular checks to ensure that the register is accurate and no keys have been lost or stolen
• ensuring that keys are returned when a key holder leaves or changes position, and
• reporting lost or stolen keys to their chain of command and Property Services.
Station Commanders are responsible for keys carried on station appliances. For other vehicles, the person allocated the vehicle is responsible for keys carried.
The Key Schedule (available on the Property Services site on the Intranet) lists the Commanders' and Managers' positions authorised to issue keys. Applications for keys must be signed by an authorised person.
To apply for a key, fill out the Bilok Security Access Application Form (available on Station Portal). The form must be authorised by a Commander or Manager in accordance with the Key Schedule on the Intranet. You cannot authorise keys for yourself.
Fax the completed form to the Executive Assistant Property Services. The Executive Assistant will send the key to the responsible Commander or Manager for registration and issue to the applicant.
When a key is issued, the Commander or Manager must ensure that a Key Issue Registration Form (available on Station Portal) is completed and signed by the person to whom the key has been issued.
The Key Issue Registration Form must be sent to the Executive Assistant Property Services. This form will be kept on file at Property Services and used to update the central key register.
The station or section's key register must also be updated and signed.
All workplaces must maintain a key register. The Commander or Manager of the workplace is responsible for updating the key register. A Station Key Register Form is available on the Intranet.
Anyone issued with a key must sign for it on the key register.
The Executive Assistant Property Services also maintains a central key register.
Commanders and Managers must conduct a twice yearly audit of all key registers. The results of the audit must be sent to the Executive Assistant Property Services so that the central key register can be kept up to date.
If you change workplaces or positions, or leave the NSWFB, and are no longer authorised to have a key that has been issued to you, you must return your key to your Commander or Manager.
Commanders and Managers must ensure that keys are returned when a key holder leaves or changes position.
The return of the key must be registered on the key register. Once this has been done, the key is no longer your responsibility.
The Commander or Manager is then responsible for returning the key to the person listed in the Key Schedule .
If a key is lost or stolen you must submit a report through the chain of command to the Commander or Manager responsible for authorising a replacement key. The report must cover:
• how the key was lost or stolen
• the key number
• the steps taken to locate the key
• the security risks to the premises resulting from the loss of the key, and
• recommendations for action.
A copy of this report must accompany the Bilok Security Access Application Form sent to the Executive Assistant Property Services before a new key will be issued.

The State Rescue Board has decided that air bag warning stickers are no longer required for identification of undeployed air bags at road accident rescue incidents.
Therefore, the act of placing the warning stickers on accident vehicles is to cease. Station Commanders are advised to remove the current stock of stickers from appliances and place them in station storage until further notice.
