Most safety paperwork can be drafted at a desk. A building risk assessment cannot. We come to your property, walk every accessible area, and produce a formal risk assessment of the building itself: the plant that keeps it running, the spaces people should not enter without controls, and the places where someone could fall.

What we assess

  • Base building plant and essential services. Lifts, HVAC, switchboards, pumps, generators, fire systems and the plant rooms that house them.
  • Confined spaces. Identification and registration of pits, tanks, ceiling spaces and voids, with entry controls assessed against the WHS Regulation.
  • Working at heights and roof access. Anchor points, ladders, walkways, fragile surfaces and edge protection, assessed against the hierarchy of controls.
  • Common areas and access. Car parks, loading docks, foyers, stairs and shared amenities.

Who uses this service

  • Building owners and commercial landlords who hold the WHS duty for a workplace they don't occupy day to day.
  • Body corporates and strata committees responsible for common property.
  • Facility and property managers who need a current, defensible risk register for each building in their portfolio.
  • Asset managers and insurers who require an annual building-wide risk survey as a condition of cover or acquisition.

Why you need one

Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld), a person with management or control of a workplace has a duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the workplace and the means of entering and leaving it are without risks to health and safety. That duty sits with owners and managers even when every tenant has their own safety system. A current building risk assessment is the primary evidence that the duty is being discharged.

Insurers increasingly ask for the same thing. An annual, documented, building-wide risk survey with a prioritised action plan is now a common condition of property and liability cover, and a strong negotiating position at renewal.

What you receive

  • A formal building risk assessment report, prepared by a qualified HSEQ consultant.
  • A risk register scoring every identified hazard on a 5x5 matrix, with existing controls recorded and residual risk rated.
  • Photographic evidence tied to each finding.
  • A prioritised corrective action plan you can hand straight to your contractors.
