Essential Safety Measures (ESMs) are the safety features required in a building to protect occupants in the event of a fire.

​

ESMs may include fire detection and alarm systems, fire doors, emergency lighting and fire hydrants.

​

Owners Corporations are responsible for the maintenance of a building’s ESMs. If a fire occurs, well maintained ESMs can provide residents with more time to exit the building and lessen the chance of fire spreading. ESMs require ongoing care and maintenance.
