DEM Fire now providing lift assessments for Annual Fire Safety Statements

We’ve previously reported on the 2017 NSW Government legislation reforms introduced through the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, which stipulate that Annual Fire Statements can now be endorsed only by registered Competent Fire Safety Practitioners (CFSPs).

One area that has been impacted is emergency lift assessments – and we’re pleased to advise that DEM Fire now provides lift assessment services for Annual Fire Safety Statements from our in-house CFSPs.

Here’s our guide to the changes and to our safe, certified and leading fire compliance lift assessment services.

The Annual Fire Safety Statement endorsement is just one aspect of lift servicing. Mick explains that maintenance and operation rest solely with lift company staff, who have the technical expertise relevant to their lifts.

DEM Fire’s accredited CFSPs now train directly with lift companies, including Kone, to ensure we have the knowledge required to look after the lifts’ emergency features. “We’re talking solely emergency functions such as lift landings and emergency lights,” says Mick.

To continue to offer expert fire compliance, fire protection design, system installation and asset management services, DEM Fire is building an industry-leading team of skilled and accredited fire protection specialists.

We’ve recently expanded our project team and are continually upskilling our inspection and testing team to provide comprehensive and accredited fire protection solutions.
