Health & Safety and Property Management
Health & Safety for Property Management
Being a landlord is very rewarding, but it also carries a lot of responsibilities. The law explicitly states the health, safety, and legal obligations of landlords, and it holds you, as a landlord, completely responsible for the wellbeing of any tenants living under your roof. At Acton Safety, we offer a wide range of expert H&S services, such as fire risk assessments, health and safety audits, and much more, to landlords.
Legally, landlords are obligated to make sure that their rental homes abide by the most recent fire safety standards. Landlords are also accountable for the safety of the electrical system, the petrol system, and other things.
The provision of smoke alarms on each level and carbon monoxide detectors in any room with a solid fuel-burning device is a requirement of safety laws for landlords.
Fundamentally, you have a legal duty as a landlord to offer secure housing and to reduce health and safety risks everywhere on the property while paying equal attention to all potential dangers that can result in injury.
We offer a fully outsourced health and safety service that is customised to meet your unique needs and requirements, ensuring that you are in compliance with the most recent landlord legislations and obligations. Currently, we collaborate with a variety of landlords across the UK.
Services for Landlord Health & Safety
To achieve complete compliance, Acton Safety offers a variety of health and safety services to landlords and owners of individual properties. The following are some of the services that we provide:
– Health and Safety Regulations
Generally speaking, health and safety rules outline your philosophy towards health and safety on your property or facilities. All tenants should have access to this document upon request, which describes how you, as the landlord, will oversee health and safety conditions inside the rental home where your tenants are staying. We will work with you to develop a health and safety policy if you don’t already have one. Asbestos, water safety, electrical safety, boiler safety, and general property safety are just a few examples of the specifics that need to be covered and explained for landlords in the policy.
– Audits of Health & Safety
Although it is not required by law, doing a health and safety audit can help you avoid paying large penalties, facing legal action, and avoiding major hazards on your site. To make sure you are fully compliance with the most recent laws, our health and safety consultants for landlords may offer thorough health and safety checks. A tailored health and safety audit will offer a thoughtful examination of practises and fact-based recommendations that may be applied immediately. The following should be included on a typical health and safety audit checklist that we will conduct:
– Management team competency
– Frequency of safety checks
– System for reporting hazards
– Current fire risk assessments
– Fire Risk Evaluations
A number of landlords and property owners can request fire risk evaluations from Acton Safety. We adhere to a tried-and-true procedure that begins with locating potential risks and hazards around the site. Then, we’ll take steps to minimise these risks and assess the security measures that need to be put in place. After completing your annual fire risk assessment, you will receive certification proving that you are in complete compliance with all current fire laws.
