Essential Services Inspections and Sales
ESM Inspections
Dandenong Fire Equipment Maintenance (DFEM) conducts essential services inspections throughout the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. We also offer other industry services such as training, evacuation plans and diagrams
and a variety of fire safety products.
Site fixtures such as fire extinguishers, exit signs, exit doors, alarm panels and fire hose reels all require regular maintenance and inspection under the National Construction Code (formerly Building Code of Australia). Most maintenance has requirements set out in an Australian Standard, while others are defined in the code itself.
What DFEM Can Offer
ESM Information
While it is important to ensure all Essential Safety Measures (EMS) are maintained and inspected for the safety of your personnel and your site, it is also a legal requirement.
To give you an idea of ESM’s you need to look out for, visit the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) website for more information.
