Additional information: Data relating to Fire Investigation Reports is held securely at CFA and is published only in aggregate form. Relevance: Data topic: Data were collected on physical sites subject to Fire Safety Inspections conducted within CFA jurisdictions. Level of geography: Data are available for CFA jurisdictions within the state of Victoria. Key Data Items: Data are provided for 2010-2015: • Type of inspection • Location of inspection Numerator/Denominator Source: N/A Additional information: • Fire Safety Inspection data are collected to fulfil CFA's statutory obligations. • Data are captured only on the number and location of inspections - outcomes are not included, nor is any assessment of risk. • Standard classifications are used to classify type of visit and location. Timeliness: Data collected: Data are collected on an ongoing basis and reported as required Data available: Data are available from the time of Inspection close-off. This may range from 2-4 weeks (or longer in some circumstances) from the time of initiation. Reference Period: Data are available for 2010-2015 Additional information: • Data are captured from time of Inspection close-off (not initiation). • Inspections may be underway at the time of data reporting, however they will not be included until they have been completed. Accuracy: Method of Collection: Data were collected using standardised hard copy forms which are coded by administration staff. Data Adjustments: N/A Collection size: Approximately 7000 inspections are undertaken per year. Under Counts: • Inspections conducted with no paperwork submitted would not be captured in the data. This would affect a small percentage of inspections. • Staff are encouraged to follow proper procedures to ensure all inspections are captured. Over Counts: • Over counts would occur if more than one file was created for a particular site which may affect a small percentage of inspections. • staff are encouraged to follow proper procedures to minimise duplication. Additional information: Data processing is automated and policy and procedures are in place to minimise processing errors. Coherence: Consistency over time: Data are relatively consistent over time, however definitions of inspection types may change according to changes in legislation. Consistency of jurisdictions: Each State and Territory has its own legislation therefore data are not necessarily consistent. Numerator/denominator: N/A There is a consistent time series for this data. Additional information: There have been no changes to underlying data collection processes since 1992. Interpretability: Context: N/A Other Supporting information: Further information on Fire Safety Inspections can be found on the CFA website: http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/building-planning-regulations/ Additional information: N/A Accessibility: No further data are available.
