Hi all, does anyone have experience drawing up a hazard list to comply with Health and Safety? My tenant runs a commercial kitchen. Do I just go on in and look for anything that can cause an injury... would I include "falling down the staircase" for example? Do I need to take photos or anything apart from writing the hazards down? Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Since I don't run the business and hazards could change at any time (I haven't been in the building for months) I am not in a good position to determine hazard or not.
I never considered that it was my responsibility.

Hi Merlot Mike, I have a commercial property and have never done a hazard list.
I would also think it was up to the business(es) in the building to do so.
To find out I'd speak to an insurance broker, pretty sure they will know.Squadly dinky do!

How did you guys get on with this?
I manage a few Body Corporates and retail centres and as I understood it, we're required to provide health and safety procedures and hazard lists for common areas while tenants are responsible for anything within their tenancy.
It's been giving me a headache trying to come up with a solution that doesn't result in micro-management but covers everything without breaking the bank.

One company claimed this path need to be fenced with a fence capable of stopping a car ...never seen this even in supermarket carparks.
