What If I Dont Comply With The Legislation?

Since December 2001, the QFRS has had the ability to issue on-the-spot fines and compliance notices where serious breaches of fire safety legislation have been detected (i.e. blocked exits) or where there is ongoing non-compliance with the legislative requirements.

This legislation requires, among other things, that owner/occupiers of buildings ensure that there is adequate means of escape from the building, buildings are not overcrowded and required fire safety installations have been correctly maintained.
