When Do You Need to Update Evacuation Diagrams?

AS 3745 recommends evacuation diagrams be reviewed and updated:

We help you stay ahead of compliance, and can establish a review and update schedule tailored to your facility.

Why Evacuation Diagrams Matter

Under WHS laws, every workplace must have an emergency plan and that plan must be visible and understood.

Evacuation diagrams are a core part of emergency preparedness, helping staff and visitors know:

  • Where they are in the building
  • The nearest exits and safe evacuation routes
  • Assembly areas and firefighting equipment
  • What to do in the event of an emergency

AS 3745:2010 outlines minimum compliance requirements for evacuation diagrams. Escalate Consulting ensures yours meet the standard no guesswork, no shortcuts.

frequently asked questions

What is an Emergency Management Plan and why is it important?2025-10-03T20:54:16+10:00

An Emergency Management Plan sets out the procedures, responsibilities, and resources required to respond effectively to emergencies such as fire, medical incidents, natural disasters, or security threats. It ensures organisations can protect people, assets, and reputation while meeting compliance obligations. 

How does Escalate Consulting ensure plans are compliant with standards? 2025-10-03T21:01:09+10:00

Our Emergency Management Plans are designed in line with AS 3745:2010 Planning for Emergencies in Facilities and, where relevant, state-based or international fire safety legislation. We also draw on industry best practice to ensure plans are practical, usable, and tailored to each client’s environment. 

Do you provide training as well as planning? 2025-10-03T21:02:42+10:00

Yes. We deliver training for Emergency Control Organisations and Emergency Planning Committee members to ensure they are confident in fulfilling their duties. We also run emergency drills and provide bespoke online training modules to ensure staff are confident and capable in an emergency. 

Can Escalate Consulting support unique industry risks? 2025-10-03T21:03:24+10:00

Absolutely. We have developed bespoke emergency management solutions for risks such as missing aged care residents, cyclone response for coastal facilities, and large-scale evacuations for sporting venues. Our tailored approach ensures plans fit each client’s needs. 

What industries does Escalate Consulting work with? 2025-10-03T21:04:05+10:00

We have built emergency management frameworks for a wide range of industries including aged care facilities, high schools, mental health providers, sporting venues, and international organisations with operations across Asia-Pacific. Each project is designed to meet both compliance requirements and practical operational realities. 

How often should emergency management plans and training be reviewed? 2025-10-03T21:04:42+10:00

Best practice recommends reviewing and testing Emergency Management Plans at least annually, after any major organisational or site changes, or following an emergency or drill. Escalate promotes regular training and exercises to ensure staff remain confident, aware of their responsibilities, and ready to respond effectively.
