Assessment Purpose:

Stakeholders and occupants of buildings have an expectation that Essential Safety Measures installed within their building/s will perform as they are intended and are undergoing required maintenance as applicable. This helps to ensure the safety of the building’s occupants, surrounding properties and the building itself.

Victorian Building Legislation has made it mandatory for both building owners and occupiers to fulfill their roles in ensuring that these Essential Safety Measures are maintained and performing as required.

ESM Compliance offers building owners/property managers a compliance package whereby we manage this process offering clients peace of mind that their building/s are complying with current legislative requirements and providing safety to their occupants and the physical building.
