Specialist Maintenance Contractor Statement Monitoring - Essential Safety Measures

Essential Property Services provides a "Specialist Maintenance Contractors Statement Monitoring service" which monitors your maintenance contractor's essential safety measures contractual compliance through our unique software. This statement monitoring service requires maintenance contractors to provide a statement certifying that their essential safety measures inspections, testing and maintenance has been performed to the clients' contracts, based on State regulations. This service is based on Australian Standards and Section I Maintenance Building Code of Australia which ensures you statutory obligations are met.

SMC Statement Monitoring StatementCompliance with essential safety measures legislation is an issue of significant interest to building owners, managers, owners corporations, property purchasers, tenants, building visitors, insurance companies and authorities. Statement monitoring is particularly useful when:

  • A dispute arises relating to the lack of testing and maintenance of essential safety measures;
  • A loss occurs as a result of the failure of essential safety measures to operate in the event of an emergency;
  • A building owner is served with an infringement notice from an authority for non compliance under essential safety measures legislation.

EPS statement monitoring service provides a safeguard to minimise the risk exposure presented to building owners (managers) when essential safety measures have failed in an emergency, causing property damage or injury to a person. Our statement monitoring service requires the Specialist Maintenance Contractors Statements to certify (on specific dates each year), that they have performed all required inspections, tests and remedial maintenance works on their contracted essentials safety measures. The statement monitoring system provides signed statements which help provide legal assurance that the contracted maintenance works have been successfully completed.

EPS has developed a statement monitoring software program that tracks all essential safety measures statements required by your contractors, specific to each building. Each maintenance contractors' statement is obtained or advised through out statement monitoring otherwise.
