H&S responsibilities and for those people that you might manage. Health and Safety
Health and Safety is of paramount importance - do not take risks. You must never put yourself, a colleague, contractor, resident or visitor to the site, in a dangerous position. All areas of risk must be labelled, or sealed off with suitable warnings put up. Report incidents immediately and report such incidents to the estate manager so they can arrange for contractors to attend to resolve the problem.
If contractors are on site and you are unhappy with the manner in which they are working in the common parts which presents a hazard, you must inform the estate manager immediately, or, in their absence, the Managing Agents.
