Our team conducts thorough inspections of your property to identify any potential safety risks as per HHSRS guidelines.

We check for a range of hazards, including structural dangers, electrical safety, fire risks, and issues with heating and ventilation.

The inspection process involves a detailed assessment of each part of your property, using the HHSRS criteria to evaluate risk levels.

If we find risks, we categorize them as either ‘Category 1’ (serious hazards) or ‘Category 2’ (less severe hazards), following HHSRS standards.

We then provide you with a comprehensive report outlining these risks and the necessary steps to mitigate them.

• Damp and mould growth
• Excess cold
• Excess heat
• Asbestos and MMF (Man-Made Fibres)
• Biocides (chemical treatments that can harm health)
• Carbon monoxide
• Lead
• Radiation (from radon gas, etc.)
• Uncombusted fuel gas (risk of explosion)
• Volatile organic compounds (harmful chemicals from a variety of sources)
• Crowding and space (overcrowding issues)
• Entry by intruders (security issues)
• Lighting (inadequate natural or artificial light)
• Noise
• Domestic hygiene, pests, and refuse (including problems with cleanliness, pests, and waste disposal)
• Food safety (including inadequate facilities for food preparation and storage)
• Personal hygiene, sanitation, and drainage (problems with personal washing facilities or drainage systems)
• Water supply (quality and temperature issues)
• Falls associated with baths
• Falling on level surfaces
• Falling on stairs
• Falling between levels (such as from balconies or windows)
• Electrical hazards
• Fire and fire safety
• Flames, hot surfaces, and materials
• Collision and entrapment
• Explosions
• Ergonomics (issues related to the design and configuration of living spaces)
• Structural collapse and falling elements (risks of building or parts of building falling down)

Under HHSRS, hazards are categorized into two types: Category 1 (serious risks) and Category 2 (less serious risks).

Category 1 hazards are considered serious and pose a high risk to the health or safety of occupants. Examples include severe dampness leading to mould growth, major electrical hazards, or structural collapse risks. Local authorities are required to take action when these hazards are present.

Category 2 hazards are less severe but still pose risks that need attention. They might include minor issues with heating, less critical dampness, or lower-level noise pollution. Local authorities can take action but it’s not mandatory.
