Fire Block Plan
Requirements & Statutory Signage
A fire block plan is more than just a diagram; it is a statutory signage requirement that plays a critical role in workplace and building safety. These block plans are installed in designated locations to guide emergency responders and occupants alike.
Fire block plan requirements vary slightly between jurisdictions, but all must adhere to core Australian Standards. Each plan must:
- Be produced in various sizes from A0 to A4.
- Include accurate, to-scale diagrams
- Identify key safety components like stop valves, alarms, and hydrants
- Be printed on water- and UV-resistant materials.
- A number of different finished to match the location – Such as a satin, natural or aluminium finish
What Are Fire Block Plans?
Fire block plans are detailed visual diagrams that map out the location and layout of fire safety systems across a building or site. These plans play a critical role in both compliance and safety. They are used by emergency services to quickly identify fire protection infrastructure and by occupants during emergency evacuations. Block plans must be installed at specific locations and comply with state and national fire safety standards.
