Fire safety systems, electrical installations, water hygiene and lifting equipment all carry ongoing statutory testing obligations. It's easy for a single site to stay on top of these; it's much harder across a multi-site estate, where different testing cycles can easily fall out of sync.
In an audit or after an incident, the question is rarely 'was the work done' — it's 'can you prove it'. Property teams should be able to produce a complete, dated record for every statutory test and every routine inspection, without having to chase multiple contractors for paperwork.
Compliance isn't limited to the building fabric. Cleaning programmes in regulated environments (healthcare, education, labs and biotech) carry their own documentation requirements — records and staff training should all be current and accessible.
At minimum, property managers should be able to confirm: current fire risk assessment, in-date electrical (EICR) certificate, water hygiene (Legionella) risk assessment, up-to-date RAMS for any contractor working on site, and a single record of when each was last reviewed. If any of these are unclear across your estate, that's the place to start.
