Essential Safety Measures (ESM) Auditing & AESMR Victoria
Protect Your Building. Meet Your Legal Obligations. Stay Compliant.
In Victoria, building owners have a legal responsibility to ensure all Essential Safety Measures (ESMs) are properly maintained, tested, and documented. Our expert ESM auditing and Annual Essential Safety Measures Report (AESMR) services give you complete confidence that your building meets every requirement under the Victorian Building Regulations.
We help owners, managers, and body corporates stay compliant, avoid penalties, and maintain safe, functional buildings year‑round.
What Is an ESM Audit?
An Essential Safety Measures audit is a detailed review of all safety systems and equipment within your building. This includes checking:
- Fire protection systems
- Exit and emergency lighting
- Fire doors and smoke doors
- Sprinklers, hydrants, and hose reels
- Mechanical ventilation systems
- Paths of travel and egress
- Safety signage
- Building fabric elements (e.g., fire‑rated walls, shafts, and penetrations)
Our audits identify gaps, overdue maintenance, non‑compliance issues, and risks that may compromise safety or breach regulatory requirements.
AESMR — Your Annual Compliance Obligation
Every Victorian Industrial, Commercial and Residential building with ESMs must have an Annual Essential Safety Measures Report (AESMR) completed and signed each year. This document confirms that:
- All ESMs have been maintained in accordance with the regulations
- Required inspections and testing have been carried out
- Records and logbooks are up to date
- The building is safe for occupants and visitors
We handle the entire process — from auditing to documentation — and provide a fully compliant AESMR ready for submission or record‑keeping.
