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
