FAQs
What is an Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS)?
An Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) is a document that confirms your building’s essential fire safety systems have been inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and Queensland regulations.
Who is responsible for submitting an AFSS?
The building owner or responsible entity is legally required to ensure the AFSS is completed and submitted to the local council. Working with a qualified fire safety provider helps make sure all inspections, testing, and documentation are completed correctly.
How often does an AFSS need to be completed?
An AFSS must be completed and submitted annually. Regular testing and maintenance throughout the year are essential to ensure all fire safety measures remain compliant and operational.
What happens if I don’t submit my AFSS on time?
Failing to submit your AFSS by the required date may result in council penalties, compliance notices, or increased liability in the event of a fire. Keeping your statement current helps protect both occupants and building owners.
Can FCF prepare and lodge my AFSS?
Yes. The FCF Fire & Electrical Rockhampton team can manage the entire process, from inspections and testing through to preparing and lodging the required documentation, making compliance simple and stress-free.
