Evacuation Diagram Review and Update Service

In Western Australia evacuation diagrams are not renewed on a calendar. Under AS 3745-2010 they must match the building as it is today, so the trigger is change: a new transportable, a moved assembly area, a relocated extinguisher. CMG reviews your existing diagrams against the standard and updates only what needs updating. WA schools can currently claim a complimentary desktop review through our WASBPA 2026 offer.

How the review works

A desktop review first, a site visit only if it is needed

Send Craig a photo of each diagram, or your existing files and floor plans if you have them. He compares them against AS 3745-2010 and the way the standard is applied in WA, and against what you tell him has changed on site.

You get a plain-English summary: which diagrams still stand up, which need an update and why. If diagrams need updating, CMG quotes the update only. Because CMG holds the drawings for most of the schools it has worked with, updates are usually quick and do not need a full re-survey.

Interactive self-check

Is your evacuation diagram still compliant?

Six quick checks based on AS 3745-2010 and what Craig sees most often on WA sites.

Does every diagram have a "You Are Here" point that matches where it is mounted?AS 3745-2010 requires the diagram to be oriented to the viewer's position.

Are all current exits and paths of travel shown, with nothing that no longer exists?Blocked, locked or removed doors are the most common failure.

Is the assembly area shown correctly, including any temporary changes?Construction, transportables and new fencing often move it.

Is every extinguisher, hose reel, blanket and alarm point shown where it actually is?Equipment gets relocated during fit-outs and services.

Has the building changed since the diagram was issued?Extensions, new rooms, demountables or a changed use of space.

Is the diagram legible, with a legend, and mounted at the right height?Faded prints and missing legends are non-compliant.

Answer the six checks above

Takes under a minute. We will tell you plainly whether your diagrams are likely to stand up.

Good to know

Review questions

Straight answers grounded in AS 3745-2010 and WA workplace legislation. Anything else, call Craig.

At least every five years, and sooner whenever things change. AS 3745-2010 asks your Emergency Planning Committee to set a validity period for the emergency plan and diagrams, and notes it should not exceed five years. Diagrams must also be updated whenever the building, exits, equipment or assembly area change. Craig recommends a quick check alongside your yearly evacuation drill.

A desktop review of the diagrams you send, compared against AS 3745-2010 and the changes you describe on site. You receive written findings. It is a diagram review only, not a full fire safety audit. WA schools can currently claim this as a complimentary review through the WASBPA 2026 offer.

Usually not for the review. If findings suggest the floor plan itself has changed, Craig will recommend an on-site verification before new diagrams are issued, and quotes that separately.

Yes. CMG can redraw any diagram to AS 3745-2010 from your floor plans or a site measure-up.
