Smoke alarms are life-saving devices, capable of detecting smoke well before it would be detected by a sleeping occupant. This is why smoke alarms are compulsory where people sleep - in houses, other accommodation buildings, and moveable dwellings such as caravans.
Smoke alarms have been mandatory in certain newly constructed buildings in NSW since the early 1990's. This was expanded in 2006 to require smoke alarms in all existing homes and other shared accommodation buildings in NSW where people sleep.
The importance of smoke alarms was highlighted by a house fire in Sydney on 16 April 2012 (see video on the right hand side of the page). The occupants of a home at Hebersham were woken by a smoke alarm, which is credited with saving their lives. The occupants were able to escape the house, before it was engulfed in flames and destroyed.
The Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 was expanded in 2011 to also make smoke alarms compulsory in caravans, campervans and other moveable dwellings where people sleep.
Caravans and campervans typically have limited escape options in the event of a fire, along with lightweight and combustible fittings.
This sequence of images highlights how quickly a fire can take hold in a caravan:
From 1999 to 2010, Fire and Rescue NSW firefighters attended more than 692 fires involving moveable accommodation vehicles, which resulted in 12 deaths and another 72 injuries.
The legislation requires all NSW residents to have at least one working smoke alarm installed on each level of the premises. This includes owner-occupied homes, rental properties, relocatable homes, caravans, moveable dwellings or any other residential building where people sleep.
Smoke alarms are life-saving devices, capable of detecting smoke and providing early warning to a sleeping occupant. They provide critical seconds to escape the building and take actions to save property. Smoke alarms are designed to detect fire smoke and emit a loud and distinctive sound to alert occupants of potential danger.

Provides information for the community, including the types of alarms available and their maintenance, and advice for landlords, tenants, the aged and people with hearing impairments. See Fire and Rescue NSW
Provides consumers and fire safety advisers with details of smoke alarms that have been verified as conforming with requirements of Australian Standard AS 3786-1993, the NSW Building Legislation Amendment (Smoke Alarms) Act 2005 and related regulations, along with a list of suppliers.

Analysis Of The USA Livestock And Poultry Industries" - October, 2008
This November, 2008
report provides a comprehensive, commercial analysis of the complex meat,
milk, and egg (MME) animal protein foods industry in the United States. It
analyzes the livestock (beef cattle, dairy cattle, and swine) and poultry meat
and eggs (broilers, turkeys, layers, and ducks) industries. It is a
comprehensive 492 page report with 178 Tables. Because of its uniqueness
for milk production as well as for beef meat, the dairy industry has special
attention. Additional comment is also provided on the minor red meat species
markets of veal, sheep, and goats. Aquaculture (fish and shellfish) and horses
are other meat sources, but they are not included in the report.
This report is designed
for commercial managers, marketing professionals, trade groups, regulators and
policy makers who need and seek practical knowledge of the immense,
overlapping and rapidly changing MME animal protein foods industry that has
become multinational in scope and trade.
FAC developed this report from primary sources, including interviews
with veterinarians, nutritionists, feedlot and poultry integrators,
distributors, and industry insiders and associations.
Secondary sources included USDA, AVMA, and Association reports and
articles from livestock and poultry and veterinary magazines.
The report scope is
both wide and in-depth in discussion of the individual MME species sectors in
terms of:
USA supply vs demand, consumption, and trade in a global
market without country boundaries, but with trade protectionism.
Demographics and production statistics.
Integrated production operations, slaughter, processing and
packing of meat and egg food products and dairy products into both commodity
and branded products, producer marketing arrangements, end use marketing to
consumers and retail food and food service markets. And the difficult
regulatory controls and oversight of production and processing of MME protein
foods, environmental stewardship, food safety and the quest for safe food in
an instant communications environment, politically tilted by social and
activist pressures.
Shifting market power and competition with consolidation
across all levels of the value-chain, including rivalry among suppliers and
substitution of purchases by consumers. Comprehensive discussion is provided
about the consolidated power and impact of the food retail and foodservices
outlets that buy and compete with food offerings among the various meat
species and varieties. The multiple meat and dairy products and food offerings
cater to competing consumer preferences and shifting buying trends in the food
marketing and food services trade. Ongoing paradigm shifts in consumer
preferences and points of purchase of MME products are highlighted.
Beef, dairy, swine, poultry, and animal agriculture and
husbandry that covers genetics and breeding, genomic advances and DNA testing,
nutrition and feed and the complex feed industry serving animal agriculture,
animal healthcare, reproduction, animal welfare, key diseases and disorders of
livestock and poultry that must be addressed by producers for animal health
and efficient economic production, plus relevant human public health concerns
with zoonotic diseases.
Regulated Products, both highly regulated and minimally
("less") regulated products, used by producers and veterinarians for
animal health and nutrition that allow animals to reach their genetic
potential. The analysis provides discussion and sales revenue estimates for
the leading therapeutic disease pharmaceuticals, parasiticides, medicated feed
additives and their nutritional additive alternatives, and disease prevention
biologicals. The top product suppliers are identified and power ranked.
Pioneer and generic product are addressed.
Analysis is provided of the changing feed industry, feed
ingredients, animal nutrition and the collision of feed grains
supply-demand-prices with alternative energy programs for corn-ethanol and
sky-high energy costs.
Ten key cross-industry top issues and long-term challenges
for the industry are identified and analyzed, i.e.,
- Collision of energy vs. agriculture policies, political gridlock,
trade protectionism

spending has declined – being replaced with more "development" such as
drug combinations and novel drug delivery formulations – to extend product
life cycles.
The brand pioneers are blurring their status by participating in
marketing of branded generic products. Legitimate generic product suppliers are
getting stronger and the market is attracting new international entrants.

the following topics:
The regulatory basis of generic registration and competition for packaged
pharmaceuticals via the CVM and animal pesticides via the EPA
