Are you up to speed with the changes to the Queensland smoke alarm legislation?
New legislation has been introduced to install photoelectric smoke alarms that are also interconnected.
Recently, changes have been made to a variety of regulations related to fire safety and the placement of smoke alarms in domestic dwellings (class 1a and class 2 buildings). These changes may apply to your home.
The new legislation introduced will make Queensland households the safest in Australia when it comes to fire safety.
The revised regulation states that as an owner of a domestic dwelling in Queensland, you have a legislative obligation to ensure the installation of the correct type of smoke detectors.
