Skip to content SafetyRAC provides specialist design, management and auditing support to landlords and property management companies who provide residential accomodation. These duty holders have substantially heightened property compliance obligations in ensuring residents are safe from injury and harm. Specifically, this would include fire safety, electrical safety, asbestos safety, gas safety, legionella safety and lift safety. Let SafetyRAC provide strategic support, compliance auditing, and risk management oversight for your compliance areas ensuring improved assurance and greater regulatory confidence!
Fire Safety is a significant compliance area for landlords. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, landlords are required to carry out fire risk assessments and implement any arising actions. The Housing Act 2004, through the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), also identifies fire as a key hazard that must be managed. SafetyRAC offers a comprehensive fire safety service to help landlords comply with their duties.
Under The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 he Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, landlords are required to ensure that electrical installations are inspected and tested at least every five years. Poor electrical safety can have life-threatening consequences. SafetyRAC can offer support in developing the your electrical management framework along with long-term programme auditing to ensure that the necessary inspections and testing are being carried out as required by law.
Asbestos safety continues to be a major area of concern for landlords, particularly in older properties. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires landlords identify and manage any asbestos present in their buildings to prevent exposure. SafetyRAC provides strategic support in managing asbestos risks. We assist landlords in creating asbestos management plans, conducting compliance audits, and ensuring that all legal duties related to asbestos safety are fulfilled.
With reference to gas aafety, landlords are required by the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations to have gas boiler checked annually by a registered Gas Safe engineer. SafetyRAC can help landlords manage the strategic aspects of gas safety. This includes auditing gas safety practices, advising on compliance with legal requirements, and ensuring that all necessary inspections and certifications are up to date.
For Legionella, landlords are required by the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 and the relevant Approvide Code of Practice to assess and control the risk of legionella bacteria in water systems. SafetyRAC provides essential support in the strategic management of water safety. We work with landlords to develop water safety plans, audit existing legionella management practices, and ensure ongoing compliance with regulations.
Our goal is to support local authorities, social housing landlords, letting agents, providers of HMO’s and student accomodation to develop and maintain a comprehensive compliance management framework as well as ensuring they possess the correct paperwork.
