PROTECT YOUR FAMILY & PROPERTY
-
Many lives have been lost in house fires. About half of deaths occur when people are sleeping. There is a new legislation in Qld which started in 2017.
-
New requirements recommend using photoelectric alarms to be hardwired into your properties electrical system.
-
Where do they need to go? Smoke alarms must be installed on each storey;
- in each bedroom; and
- in hallways which connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling; or
- if there is no hallway, between bedrooms and other parts of the storey; and
- if there are no bedrooms on a story at least one smoke alarm must be installed in the most likely path of travel to exit the dwelling.
-
There is a 10-year phased roll out time to comply, depending on your dwelling and circumstances.
-
What do these terms mean?
Photoelectric - Detects visible particles of combustion. They respond to a wide range of fires and are particularly responsive to smouldering fires and dense smoke given off by furnishings or overheated PVC wiring which contribute to a large amount of house fires.
Interconnected - if one smoke alarm sounds all the other smoke alarms will also sound.
Hardwired - Connected to the home's electrical system and has a battery back-up power.
