Asset tracking and compliance for Queensland facilities teams
Keep AS 1851 fire records, test-and-tag intervals and pre-starts on every asset across your Queensland sites and client contracts, ready for an audit or a WHSQ visit.
MapTrack helps Queensland facilities and field service teams meet their duties under the harmonised Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld), enforced by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland. It keeps AS 1851 fire equipment service, AS/NZS 3760 test-and-tag records and pre-starts attached to each asset across every site and contract.
QLD compliance
The compliance landscape for Queensland facilities
Facilities, cleaning and multi-site field service teams in Queensland work under the harmonised Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld) and the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld), enforced by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland. As a PCBU you carry duties for the equipment your workers use and, often, for plant and electrical safety in the client buildings you maintain. The compliance question is rarely just your own gear; it is the evidence your client expects you to keep on the assets in their facility.
Two recurring streams dominate facilities compliance in Queensland. The first is electrical: portable equipment and leads carry recurring in-service inspection and testing under AS/NZS 3760, and an expired test tag is one of the most common write-ups in a facilities audit. Queensland has had a strong focus on electrical safety, with a dedicated Electrical Safety Act framework alongside the WHS laws. The second is fire and essential services: building fire equipment is serviced on the routines in AS 1851, and Queensland building requirements place ongoing maintenance obligations on building occupiers, which flow down to the facilities provider.
Because facilities teams run across many client sites, the hard part is keeping evidence attributable. A maintenance record that is not tied to the specific extinguisher, pump or scrubber, on the specific site, is hard to defend when a client or a Workplace Health and Safety Queensland inspector asks.

Standards
Standards across Queensland facilities work
These standards drive the recurring compliance tasks on a facilities contract. MapTrack keeps the service interval, the result and the next-due date on each asset and site.
- AS 1851
Routine service of fire protection systems and equipment. Six-monthly and annual service of extinguishers, hose reels and systems must be evidenced per asset.
- AS/NZS 3760
In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment. Test-and-tag intervals belong on the asset record; expired tags are the most common audit write-up.
- Electrical Safety Act framework
Queensland maintains dedicated electrical safety law alongside the WHS Act. Electrical equipment duties for a facilities provider sit under both.
- WHS Regulation 2011 (Qld)
Plant, electrical safety and general duties for a PCBU. Pre-starts and equipment checks for cleaning plant, EWPs and access equipment carry documented obligations.
The problem
What slows Queensland facilities teams down
These are the recurring problems we hear from facilities and field service managers running multiple Queensland client contracts.
Test tags expire across dispersed sites
AS/NZS 3760 intervals are easy to miss when equipment is spread across a large Queensland geography. An expired tag found in a client audit reflects badly on the contractor.
Fire service records sit on generic sheets
AS 1851 service signed off on a site sheet, rather than against the specific extinguisher or pump, is hard to reconstruct when a building occupier asks for proof.
Electrical safety evidence under two frameworks
Queensland electrical duties sit under both the WHS Regulation and the Electrical Safety Act. Keeping a clean, attributable electrical test trail per asset matters more here.
Equipment moves between depots and sites
Scrubbers, EWPs and access gear move between depots and customer sites with no clear custody trail, so utilisation and servicing slip.

The fix
How MapTrack works for Queensland facilities
MapTrack labels every asset and keeps its fire service, electrical testing and pre-start evidence on the record, filterable by client and site for a clean contract report.
Service and test-and-tag on the asset
AS 1851 fire service and AS/NZS 3760 test-and-tag results attach to each extinguisher, pump and tool, with next-due alerts so intervals never quietly lapse.
Reporting by client and site
Filter compliance evidence by client contract, site or asset group and export a clean report, instead of rebuilding it from spreadsheets.
Mobile pre-starts and inspections
Field crews complete equipment checks and custom inspection forms on mobile, attached to the asset with photos and timestamps.
Custody and location across sites
Track where scrubbers, EWPs and access gear are across your Queensland depots and customer sites, and assign custody so nothing goes missing.
