Services


As specialists in this field, we offer a range of services which help building owners and managers meet their fire safety measures maintenance obligations. These services are offered throughout NSW & ACT and Victoria. In Queensland, since Statcom Systems does not have BSA licensed staff, ours service offerings are limited to those areas that do not contravene the Building Services Act.

The Statcom Inspection Monitoring and Reporting System is a well established and proven system currently used in over 7,000 buildings throughout Australia that simplifies the fire safety measures process with an easy to use step-by-step approach to achieving compliance.

Our services include:

Set Up

Statcom Systems is able to carry out an on site survey that will identify the safety measures present and their locations. The client’s contractors and inspectors are then assigned in the computer database to carry out the maintenance and testing of each safety measures item listed on the Certificate of Classification and confirmed during the onsite survey.

The collected data is entered into a software database by Statcom Systems and Essential Safety Measures Manuals are prepared for each site. Each customised manual includes the following information:

  • Owner Details
  • Building Details
  • Fire Safety Measures Equipment List
  • Maintenance Contractor Details
  • Inspection Standards and Frequencies as per As1851-2005
  • A 12 Month Inspection Schedule
  • Inspection Records
  • A pre-prepared Certificate of Maintenance

A contractor briefing session is normally established to advise the specialist contractors what is required from them in order that correct record keeping practices are adopted.

Statcom Systems will also normally provide an Observations Report which highlights any Fire Safety Measures requiring further investigation by a competent person.

The Set Up phase is a mandatory pre-requisite for any of Statcom Systems other services.

Compliance Management

Fire Safety Measures Compliance can be achieved by utilising the Statcom Inspection Monitoring and Reporting System:

  • Inspection Records and Reports are sent to the assigned Contractors and Inspectors by email
  • The person assigned the inspection can print the Inspection Record or just view it on the computer screen
  • The required task is carried out and an electronic Inspection Report is returned to Statcom Systems to allow for the updating of the building database
  • A Compliance Status Report is sent to the client monthly which identifies tasks which are either Current, Completed, needing Follow-up or are Overdue
  • The Client can elect to follow up delinquent contractors themselves or have Statcom Systems do this on their behalf
  • At the conclusion of each 12 month period, the Compliance Status Report is reviewed to confirm if all inspections and tests have been carried out according to the requirements of the Certificate of Classification and whether the Certificate of Maintenance with each customised manual can be signed by the Owner. It is also necessary to ensure that certification from each of the contractors has been received to verify that all Fire Safety Measures are performing according to the relevant standards originally noted on the Certificate of Classification.

Inspections

There are four categories of Essential Services which require routine inspections

  1. Fire equipment
  2. Electrical fittings
  3. Air Conditioning/Mechanical Ventilation systems
  4. Paths of Egress and Passive Fire Elements

Specialist companies are normally contracted to carry out the first three, whilst the client can carry out the Quarterly Paths Of Travel/Exit Door Inspections and some Annual Passive Fire Element inspections.

Annual Certificate of Maintenance

In Queensland, each Essential Safety Measures Manual will have included a copy of a pre-prepared Certificate of Maintenance. These are required to be signed by the Building Owner after each 12 month period. For other States and Territories, the Manual will include a copy of the relevant Annual Compliance Statement.

Statcom Systems can be engaged to check that the on-site records are complete and to determine if the certification from all maintenance contractors have been submitted.  These due-diligence checks are recommended before the Certificate of Maintenance is signed by the owner.
