Store Essential Safety Equipment in Compliant Cabinets

 Every building in Australia needs an essential safety cabinet. It's where your emergency plans, building diagrams and key contact info live. Victorian Fire Protection supplies emergency information boxes (EIB) that meet building code requirements across Melbourne and Victoria. 

These essential safety cabinets get mounted in accessible spots near main entrances or fire panels, holding evacuation diagrams, AS1851 reports, emergency procedures, and building management contacts. When inspectors visit or emergencies happen, this info needs to be grab-and-go ready, not buried in some filing cabinet upstairs. 

Our cabinets come in metal construction with clear labelling, proper locks and has options for external mounting. They're sized to fit standard documentation without cramming everything in. Victorian Fire Protection handles supply and installation, making sure your essential safety cabinet is positioned correctly and stocked with current information.

Fire Equipment Services That Support Ongoing Safety Compliance

Fire equipment services play a critical role in meeting Essential Safety Measures across commercial, public, and residential buildings. Victorian Fire Protection delivers structured inspection and maintenance programs that align with AS 1851 and Building Regulation 1217 of 2006. From extinguishers and hose reels to alarms, exit doors and emergency lighting, each fire equipment service is carried out at required intervals and recorded correctly. 

Portable fire extinguishers are inspected every six months, pressure checked, and tested further where required. Annual inspections, fire mains testing and ESM reporting are also part of maintaining compliance under Victorian regulations. Councils may issue fines where safety systems are not maintained, and insurance claims may be affected. 

With scheduled maintenance and accurate reporting, our fire equipment services help building owners meet obligations and reduce exposure to penalties. Contact Victorian Fire Protection to arrange a compliant service plan today.
