The New South Wales government has put in place a new state-wide regulatory framework for Short Term Rental Accommodation (STRA). The STRA Code of Conduct now includes mandatory fire safety standards.
Short Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) is a dwelling used by the host to provide accommodation in the dwelling for a temporary or short-term duration to generate revenue. STRA is frequently made possible by online booking platforms such as Stayz, Airbnb, and Booking.com. We specialise in developing fully complying evacuation diagrams and emergency guidance booklets for short-term rental properties for clients throughout Australia. In addition to working directly with individual clients, we serve as wholesale suppliers to developers, property managers, and fire services groups for air bnb rental properties, serviced apartments, short-term rentals, NDIS housing clients, and disability care homes. Safestay is committed to manufacturing fully compliant evacuation diagrams, emergency advice booklets, fire extinguishers, and fire blankets. Safe Stay also provides on-site inspection, testing, and certification.
We come to your site and determine the most appropriate emergency assembly area and "You Are Here" locations. If no floor plans are available, we will create some in order to prepare them in digital format. Evacuation diagrams will then be supplied, in accordance with the STRA Fire Safety Standard and AS3745-2010 and provided from 48 hours.
Hosts must prepare and make available relevant local information on different fire level warnings, emergency contact information, and broadcast service frequencies as part of the STRA Register dwelling registration process. Our Emergency Advice Sheets give your occupants the critical information they need to stay safe.
While onsite we will locate, test and replace batteries in each of your smoke and heat alarms to ensure they are in the proper position and meet the requirements of the new STRA Fire Safety Standard and AS3745-2010 to ensure your property is compliant.
We come to your location and install your portable fire extinguisher and fire blanket in accordance with AS2444 and the STRA Fire Safety Standard, while also recording information in our data system to alert you when maintenance is due or in the event of a warranty claim.
"What are Fire Evacuation Diagrams?
Fire evacuation diagrams are simplified building schematics that guide viewers away from an imminent threat or hazardous area.
Typically, these maps show building features such as rooms, doors, exits, hallways, stairwells, and more.
Evacuation diagrams will also show a ‘Your Are Here’ location and safe egress routes.
Additional information such as the location of safety equipment may be included when appropriate.
