Health and Safety Legislation and Property
Directors’ responsibilities:
The law requires that suitable and sufficient assessments of risk are carried out in all communal areas of residential properties. This is because these areas are deemed to be places of work. This covers not only residents, but also staff, visitors, contractors and property management employees. These assessments need to be carried out by someone with the necessary competence, which will usually be carried out as part of a site survey.
In this white paper we provide the majority of health and safety legislation that will matter to you, as well as telling you how Cardinus Risk Management can help you meet your obligations with a variety of services.
