Why you have to certify the systems in your building
Make sure that the specified systems you have installed in your building are in good working order so that the building is safe for the public and occupants to use.
You should know
You need to make sure that people can use your building without any risk to their health and safety.
- If you use or permit the use of a building that is not safe or sanitary or has inadequate means of escape from fire, you will commit an offence. This offence carries a fine of up to $100,000.
- If you do not get a compliance schedule, you may have to pay a maximum fine of $20,000 and a further $2000 for every day if you continue to offend.
We can also issue instant fines ranging from $250 to $1000.
