Essential services are the services essential for occupation and safety in a building: ventilation, lighting and water services, fire protection and fire control, and emergency escape provisions.
Building owners and occupiers are responsible for ensuring the essential services to their buildings are compliant with applicable regulations and standards, and are maintained and are operating as required by applicable regulations and standards all to best practices and current expectations. In most cases this responsibility is self regulated. Building owners and occupiers are entirely and directly responsible for compliance, maintenance and correct operation of the essential services. Though some aspects of this responsibility is reviewed by insurance risk assessors and local government health and licencing inspectors, satisfying these entities does not necessarily guarantee full compliance and best practice.
Regulation is also administered by the legal and social justice systems where building owners and occupiers are subject to considerable risk due to injury, death, and fire damage due to inadequate or inoperable essential services and lack of record keeping to demonstrate compliance.
Essential Services Engineering can ensure that the essential services of your buildings are fully compliant, maintained, operational and the required records are kept and updated.
