Emergency Plans

Emergency incidents can occur in a commercial or industrial environment at any time. With proper planning the risks to buildings and occupants can be reduced, and some risks can even be eliminated.

The Emergency Management Planning process identifies risks and develops procedures to ensure the safety of people during an emergency.

CFA have published a new manual based on two Australian Standards:

  • Emergency Control Organisations and Procedures for Buildings AS3745-2002
  • Planning for Emergencies – Healthcare Facilities AS4083-1997
 Emergency Management Planning Guidelines


This manual assists property owners and business proprietors to develop comprehensive emergency management plans for commercial and industrial buildings.

The Emergency Management Planning Guidelines are available for purchase from CFA HQ or Regional Headquarters at a cost of $110 (GST inc).
