Why should I consider a WHS consultant or WHS advisor like WLSS for emergency management planning?
Our Advisors provide expert guidance, ensure compliance with WHS regulations, and help you develop a clear, effective fire evacuation plan. As experienced evacuation planning consultants, we assist Adelaide and SA businesses in creating tailored procedures, evacuation plan diagrams, and emergency response strategies.
Which Australian Standards do you follow for emergency evacuation diagrams and fire safety?
At WLSS, we strictly follow Australian Standards to ensure your evacuation diagrams, emergency signage, and fire protection systems meet full compliance:

With WLSS, your fire evacuation map, diagrams, and emergency systems are maintained at national standard — giving you full confidence in your safety systems.
What questions should I ask when I need emergency evacuation plans?
When planning an evacuation diagram or emergency plan, ask:
- Is it compliant with AS 3745 and up to date
- Does it reflect your site’s risks, equipment, and structure?
- Does it include compliant evacuation signs and clear instructions?
- Can the provider offer full emergency evacuation diagram services?
- Are diagrams available for each floor or work zone?
WLSS answers all these and more, ensuring your fire evacuation plan in Adelaide is compliant, readable, and effective.
Can you make evacuation diagrams and emergency plans customised for my company?
Absolutely. We offer tailored evacuation diagrams SA-wide, custom-fit to your site, floorplan, and business activity. Our team designs fully compliant evacuation plan diagrams that incorporate local risks and integrate visually with your building.
How often do I need to update my EMPs?
We recommend updating your emergency plan:
- Every five years (per AS 3745)
- After layout changes, renovations, or new equipment installs
- After major drills or incidents
- As part of routine EPC reviews
You should also update your evacuation diagram if assembly points or workplace evacuation signage changes.
Who should we assign to be a Chief Warden for emergencies?
WLSS helps you identify the right Chief Warden and supporting roles based on your operations, team size, and layout. Our evacuation planning consultants use a risk-based method to allocate emergency roles efficiently and ensure full coverage across sites.
For drills and training, do I need to attend a course over three days? How long will I lose my staff for during trainings?
Not at all. We deliver customised emergency training in short, efficient sessions that reflect your specific fire evacuation plan and evacuation diagrams. No wasted time — just practical training that meets compliance without disrupting your operations.
How do you stay informed about the latest safety regulations and standards?
We’re active members of the Fire Protection Association Australia (FPAA) and maintain strong ties with safety regulators. This ensures your evacuation signage, diagrams, and emergency response plan are always aligned with updated national standards.
How long does it take to create emergency plans and diagrams?
WLSS can quickly develop emergency evacuation diagrams and tailored fire evacuation plans. Timelines depend on site complexity, but most Adelaide businesses receive their compliant plans within a short, agreed timeframe.
How much do your services cost?
We offer fixed-fee pricing based on scope. Our Advisors meet with you first to understand your risks, layout, and compliance gaps, then provide cost-effective options — whether it’s a full EMP, evacuation diagram service near you, or bundled support.
How do you make sure your emergency plans are right for our company?
Before quoting, we conduct a detailed consultation to understand your risks, industry, and operations. Whether it’s a factory, childcare centre, or office, we design a fire evacuation map and response plan suited specifically to your needs.
What activities are included in emergency drills and training?
Training sessions often include:
- Evacuation and warden drills
- Use of fire equipment
- Lockdown procedures
- Familiarisation with evacuation diagrams and workplace signage
All sessions are aligned with your actual evacuation plan diagram and site-specific procedures.
How often should employees receive emergency response training?
At minimum, your staff should complete emergency response training annually — more often for high-risk industries. We also recommend refresher sessions after team changes, site modifications, or major incidents.
Do you offer maintenance contracts or bundled services?
Yes! WLSS offers bundled WHS services that may include:
- Evacuation diagram services
- Electrical testing and tagging
- Fire equipment servicing
- Emergency and exit light testing
- Emergency planning and EPC support
We also offer 3-year maintenance contracts for discounted pricing and ongoing compliance. This is ideal for businesses needing a complete, hands-off solution to managing their emergency signage, training, and compliance cycle.
