AS 3745—2010 is a Category 4 advisory standard under the REGULATORY-CONTEXT.md framework. It is not legislation; rather, it provides a framework and best-practice guidance for emergency planning in facilities. The standard helps organisations meet their obligations under relevant WHS, building code, and emergency management legislation by providing detailed, prescriptive guidance on how to develop and implement effective emergency plans.
Organisations may be required by legislation (such as WHS laws or building codes) to have an emergency plan, but the specific approach adopted should be tailored to the facility's circumstances. This standard provides practical, detailed guidance to assist in developing compliant and effective plans.
