1. Introduction
On
1 May 2006 it will become mandatory under the Building Legislation Amendment (Smoke
Alarms) Act 2005 for all NSW residents to have at least one
working smoke alarm installed in their homes.
The
exact details of the types of smoke alarms to be installed, where they should
be installed and how they should be maintained are covered in the Environmental Planning and Assessment
Amendment (Smoke Alarms) Regulation 2006.
2. Information
about the smoke alarm legislation
We
have put information about the legislation and the installation of appropriate
smoke alarms on our Internet site.
All
staff are encouraged to make themselves familiar with this information. As the starting date for this legislation
gets closer, we expect to get a lot of enquiries about it.
3. What
to do if you receive an enquiry
If
you receive an enquiry from the public about the smoke alarms legislation, ask
whether the enquirer has access to the Internet.
If
they have access to the Internet refer them to our Internet site at www.fire.nsw.gov.au where there is a link to the information on
Smoke Alarms on the home page.
If
they do not have access to the Internet, print the following pages from our
Internet site and send them to the enquirer with a signed and dated copy of our
standard smoke alarms letter which is available on Station Portal. The
body of the letter is not to be altered.

1. Introduction
Since
the introduction of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001,
a number of risk assessments have been carried out on fire appliances. To avoid
duplication and ensure the process captures all information it is essential
that the risk assessments be done centrally. Measures can then be put in place
to ensure new designs are improved with reduced risk and programs put in place
to minimise risk with existing appliances or vehicles.
2. Procedure
If
a risk assessment is required which concerns fire appliances or fleet vehicles
the following procedure applies:
1. The officer requesting the risk
assessment must contact the Fleet Officer Operations or their Fleet Area
Manager to discuss and clarify any issues. It may be that the issue can be
addressed by training or following already identified procedures. If, after
these discussions, it is determined that the issue will impact across a number
of locations and appliances, the officer requesting the risk assessment must
make a formal request to the Fleet Officer Operations or the Fleet Area Manager
for a risk assessment to be undertaken.
2. The Fleet Officer Operations or Fleet
Area Manager will advise the Assistant Director Fleet once a report is
provided.
3. The Assistant Director Fleet will
request the Manager Engineering Services to convene a Risk Assessment Working
Group. Representatives from Engineering
Services Unit, Fleet Management Unit, the Health and Safety Branch and
Operations will form this group and carry out the risk assessment.
4. The
results of the risk assessment and any necessary actions required will be
advised to the report initiator, the Assistant Director Fleet and the Assistant
Director Operational Logistics.
5. The
Assistant Director Fleet will if necessary organise maintenance or inspection
programs to reduce the risk. If the risk treatment is procedural or training
related the Assistant Director Operational Logistics will ensure processes are
put in place to minimise the risk.
