Facility managers acting as person in management and control of a workplace are faced with various challenges in ensuring the health and safety of tenants, their workers (employees and contractors) and the public within the areas under their control. In addition, properties always have a number of inherent WHS and environmental risks associated with their older designs, fittings, activities undertaken by tenants, installed plant, air conditioning systems and so on.

Under the Work Health and Safety legislation of Australian jurisdictions occupiers or controllers of premises are required to ensure the health and safety of everyone accessing and using those premises under their control. With our consultants tertiary qualification in safety management and extensive experience in providing property WHS, environmental and public liability consulting services to the property sector including commercial and industrial properties and property WHS risk management training to the Property Council of Australia.
