Statutory Emergency Procedures Manuals
Australian Standards AS 3745 and AS 1851-2012 Section 14 mandate that every facility maintains a site-specific Emergency Management Manual. Compliance Ready provides the expert-led documentation required to meet secondary statutory audits and avoid critical insurance defects.
Request Statutory ReviewThe 6-Month Statutory Trap
Many facilities are still using manuals that haven't been reviewed in 12+ months. Under the new NSW regulations, this is a Category 1 Defect.

- NSW AFSS Compliance (Mandatory Feb 2026)
- ECO Structure Verification
- Risk Analysis Documentation
Mandatory Compliance Baseline
Your Emergency Procedures Manual is not just a document; it is a statutory instrument required for your Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) and WHS obligations.
AS 3745-2010 Requirements
Mandatory development of an Emergency Management Manual that includes evacuation procedures, ECO structures, and facility-specific response plans.
AS 1851-2012 Section 14
Now mandatory in NSW as of 13 Feb 2026. This requires 6-monthly "Testing of Procedures" and competent review of all emergency documentation.
