Sustainable Buildings Ensuring buildings exceed expectations Health and safety
Ensuring our buildings are safe for all who work in or visit them is of fundamental importance. Health and safety is part of our management culture from the top of our organisation through to the day-to-day operations of our buildings. Our team is aware that nothing is more important than making sure our buildings are safe to use. We continually check and monitor all aspects of health and safety, making sure regular inspections are carried out, records are kept up to date and works undertaken to keep equipment in safe condition. We regularly monitor work carried out by our managing agents and visit our buildings to check their condition and review reports to identify actions required in order to maintain safety. Our health and safety record continued to be very strong during 2020. There were no reported accidents or health and safety incidents during the year. Despite the restrictions on working practices caused by the pandemic, which affected the way some building and system checks could be undertaken, we were more than 99% compliant with all critical and secondary documentation. We created Covid-19 safe plans for all our multi-let offices to ensure anyone who required access within the Government guidelines, could do so safely. This ensured that all our offices remained fully open throughout the year for those who were unable to work from home.

We created a new Health and Safety Committee to bring renewed focus to this area across all our buildings and for all aspects of health and safety for our team. We have improved the performance measures in our property management contract to ensure our managing agents maintain their strong performance and remain aligned with our key targets. Our priority is to maintain our health and safety record so that there are no accidents or incidents, and our documentation is kept up to date. As Covid-19 restrictions are relaxed and our occupiers return to their offices, we will continue to ensure that our offices comply with Covid-19 safe guidelines. We will work closely with our occupiers to publicise the measures we are taking, so that their employees can feel confident in returning.
We will provide further training to all our employees which in some cases will lead to them obtaining the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) qualifications. We will utilise our improved performance monitoring measures to ensure our managing agents maintain their focus on health and safety.
