CMG Fire and Safety Services is the name Perth and WA schools trust for compliant, professionally designed evacuation diagrams. Craig and the team have worked with over 200 schools across metropolitan Perth and regional Western Australia, from primary schools and high schools through to colleges, special education facilities and early childhood centres.
Schools have specific fire safety obligations under AS 3745-2010 and WA workplace legislation, and Craig understands these requirements better than anyone. When you work with CMG you are working with a specialist, not a generalist company that produces diagrams as a sideline.
Schools are not the same as commercial buildings. The occupant mix is unique, with large numbers of children, staff, visitors, contractors and in some cases students with disabilities or mobility requirements who must all be accounted for in a compliant emergency plan.
Craig works directly with school principals, business managers and administration teams to understand the specific layout, occupancy and emergency requirements of each school before designing a single diagram. Every evacuation diagram CMG produces for a school is site-specific, AS 3745-2010 compliant and installed on site by Craig’s team.
With over 200 WA schools already trusting CMG, the experience and understanding of school-specific requirements is unmatched in Perth.
Under AS 3745-2010, every school must have compliant evacuation diagrams displayed throughout the facility. Each diagram must include as a minimum the title EVACUATION DIAGRAM, a floor plan of the area, the YOU ARE HERE location, designated exits shown in green, fire safety equipment locations in the correct colours, assembly area, validity date, facility name and address including access street, and a compliant legend.
The Emergency Planning Committee, which in a school context typically includes the principal or delegate, is responsible for ensuring diagrams are current, correctly placed and reviewed whenever the building layout changes or fire equipment is relocated. CMG handles the entire process: site assessment, design, approval and on site installation.
CMG provides evacuation diagrams and fire safety services for all school types across Perth and WA including primary schools, secondary schools, K-12 campuses, independent schools, Catholic schools, TAFE campuses, early childhood centres and education support facilities. We also work with school networks and education department facilities requiring consistent, compliant diagrams across multiple sites.
