Facility managers acting as occupiers or controllers of premises are faced with various challenges in ensuring the health and safety of tenants, their employees and the public within the areas under their control. In addition, properties always have a number of inherent OHS and environmental risks associated with their older designs, fittings, activities undertaken by tenants, installed plant, air conditioning systems and so on.

Under the health and safety legislation of Australian jurisdictions occupiers or controllers of premises are required to ensure the health and safety of everyone accessing those premises under their control.

With our consultants tertiary qualification in safety management and extensive experience in providing property OHS, environmental and public liability consulting services to the property sector including commercial and industrial properties and property OHS risk management training to the Property Council of Australia, SESA is ideally placed to assist your business by ensuring you are minimising risks associated with your managed property OHS and environmental non-compliance and minimising potential exposure of public liability claims.
