Improve fire safety at your property
To improve fire safety of your property, we recommend providing:
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
Fire extinguishers
Emergency exit route and phone numbers
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
- Follow Australian Smoke Alarm Requirements on how many devices to install.
- Install a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm outside each sleeping area and/or in the bedroom.
- Wire alarms together so that if one sounds, they all sound.
- Install flashing alarms for people who are hearing impaired.
- Test alarms once a month and replace batteries as required.
Fire extinguishers
- Install high on the wall, near an exit, away from heat sources, and out of reach of children.
- If extinguishers are not in plain sight, notify travellers where they can be found.
- Ensure that extinguishers are properly charged and ready to use.
- If your extinguisher is designed for one-time discharge, replace it immediately after use.
Emergency exit route and phone numbers
- Indicate any emergency exit routes for your guests.
- Notify of emergency exit routes on your listing under Home safety features.
- List emergency phone numbers in your guidebook or display them on the refrigerator.
