Question 1

What are the statutory compliance checks for a commercial building?

Accepted Answer

The common ones are fire risk assessment, legionella risk assessment and water monitoring, the asbestos register and duty to manage, fixed-wire electrical testing (EICR) and PAT, gas safety, emergency lighting, and thorough examination of lifting equipment under LOLER. The exact list depends on the building, its age, its services and its use. We assess which apply to each of your properties and put them on a single calendar with the right frequencies.

Question 2

How often does each check need doing?

Accepted Answer

It varies by check and by building. Fixed-wire testing is commonly every five years for commercial premises but can be more frequent depending on use; emergency lighting is tested monthly and annually; LOLER thorough examinations are typically six or twelve-monthly depending on the equipment; legionella monitoring runs on its own schedule set by the risk assessment. The frequencies are exactly what the compliance calendar is for, so nothing is left to memory. We set them per property and track them.

Question 3

Who is legally responsible if a statutory check is missed?

Accepted Answer

The duty usually sits with the "responsible person" or "duty holder" for the building, which depending on the arrangement can be the owner, the occupier, the employer or the managing agent. A missed check can mean enforcement action, an invalidated insurance position and personal liability for the duty holder. Part of what we do is make the responsibilities explicit, so everyone knows which checks are theirs and the calendar makes a lapse visible before it becomes a problem.

Question 4

Do you carry out the checks yourselves, or manage the contractors?

Accepted Answer

Both, depending on the check. Some, like fire risk assessments and audits, our consultants carry out directly. Others, like fixed-wire testing or LOLER examinations, are done by competent specialist contractors that we manage and verify on your behalf. Either way, the results land in one place with the evidence attached, so you're not chasing certificates across a dozen suppliers.

Question 5

How do you keep lone and remote workers safe?

Accepted Answer

We start with a risk assessment of where and how they work, then put a proportionate system around it: a reliable check-in routine, a clear escalation path if someone doesn't respond, and training so workers and managers know what to do. The arrangement scales from a simple buddy-and-call-in system to a monitored solution, depending on the risk. The aim is that a problem triggers a response rather than being noticed the next morning.

Question 6

We manage multiple sites. Can you keep them to one standard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's the main reason multi-site operators come to us. A rolling audit programme assesses every property against the same standard, so a building that's drifting shows up against the rest of the portfolio. You get a consistent picture, comparable site by site, and a named consultant who holds the whole estate rather than treating each building as a separate job.
