The legislation in both Queensland and New South Wales makes the body corporate, as the controller of the common property in strata schemes, responsible for ensuring that these areas are safe for both occupants and visitors to the scheme.
A Leary & Partners workplace health and safety audit identifies potential hazards in the common property, assigns them a risk rating and recommends remedial action. The report provides both a written explanation of the health and safety legislation and a clear description of the hazards with colour photos.
The audit does not investigate the following:
- fire protection systems - electrical and gas systems - major equipment such as lifts and air conditioning units - asbestos containing materials
These items require specialist qualifications and/or licencing to test.
