Maintenance Schedules
What is a Maintenance Schedule?
In Victoria building owners are obliged to maintain the Essential Safety Services within their building or place of public entertainment. Stokes Safety can update or prepare a Maintenance Schedule for an existing building or place of public entertainment listing the: –
- Essential Safety Measures;
- The Level of Performance; and
- The Frequency and Type of Maintenance.
Regulation 218 & 222 – Maintenance Schedule
Relevant Building Surveyor must prepare or update Maintenance Schedule for an existing building or place of public entertainment. A Maintenance Schedule lists all the Essential Safety Measures required to be provided in a building or place of public entertainment. The Essential Safety Measures and related maintenance requirements must be listed in chronological order.
How Maintenance Schedules are Prepared
A Maintenance Schedule is prepared compiling all past Occupancy Permits. We carry this out by requesting archive document search with the municipal council’s building department and by conducting a site visit to identify any other Essential Safety Measure items that the documents may not have identified.
Benefits of a Maintenance Schedule
Rather than referring to multiple documents, a Maintenance Schedule can amalgamate all the past maintenance determinations listed on the back of all Occupancy Permits. This procedure will result in a simple up to date document which can be referred to by building owners, maintenance facility managers and the like.
