Essential Services Management
When it comes to essential services management, the team at 1 Call Facility Management has the experience and expertise necessary to provide you with services you can trust.
Our Six Step Sequence
1call manages the essential services through to the signing and display of the Annual report utilising a 6-step process:
1. Date Collection - Our trained staff will inspect the Building, identify and log all relevant essential services present in your Building.
2. Entry of Data to central Database
3. Essential Services Manual - We will collate and generate the Essential Services manual and install onsite, including a secure cabinet if required.
4. Services Maintenance Contracts - 1call will negotiate with specialist service providers to ensure that all the equipment and inspection requirements are covered.
5. Operational - 1call produces a schedule of the maintenance required and ensured that the contractors complete and sign the checklist prior to sending it back to our office. We regularly inspect the building to update the onsite logbook and perform building inspections.
6. Annual Review - The Building's Essential Services are constantly reviewed but particularly for the Annual Report as this is required to be signed, dated and displayed by the nominated due date.
1call ensures that the Annual Report is a procedural formalist by constantly reviewing the Essential Services throughout the year.
Regulations
The regulations require that the owner:
- Inspect essential services and record results in accordance with the Australian Standards.
- Complete essential services reports.
- maintain inspection records on the premises for compliance inspections by the Municipal Building Surveyors, Metropolitan Fire Brigade or Country Fire Authority
The Legislation
The Essential Services Legislation requires that buildings are required to have essential services fitted and maintained in an operational state to ensure adequate levels of safety over the life of the building.
The objective of maintenance is to ensure that every essential service continues to perform at the same level of operation that existed at the time of commissioning.
