Posted By Thomas Kennedy We have some staff working in muliti-occupied premises where the landlord retains responsibility for the fabric of the building and the majority of services. These include heating and ventilation. water systems, boilers, site security, grounds manitenance etc. Although they appear on the surface to meet basic legal compliance in some areas it's clear they're not very proactive on safety - poorly trained staff, no risk assesments, irregular or no workplace inspections or audits, contractor monitoring poor etc. I think they've been lucky up to now. Obviously if some thing goes wrong it could affect our employees safety and welfare - of course we retain an overriding duty for their safety here. I'm interested to hear how far do others go to ensure their landlords fully comply with legal duties and follow best safety practices. I'm particularly keen to hear about performance reporting. Tommy

Posted By Charley Farley-Trelawney Tommy Arrange a meeting with the LL, there are liabilities and it would seem they may be in breach. I am a Director responsible for 90 ares worth of tenants, the list for compliance is huge so a meeting to establish common ground will be beneficial. You have other options available if the meeting is fruitless, I am certain you already know what they are, if not, do not hesitate to contact me directly, I can assist. Charles
