Day-to-day operating brief

What Health & Safety Officer (Real Estate) work looks like in practice

A Real Estate Health and Safety Officer supports safety across managed buildings, offices, common areas and maintenance activities. Terms should define site scope, risk assessments, contractor review, incident investigation, fire-safety coordination, asbestos information, audits and escalation. The officer should not sign off specialist systems outside competence, treat a template assessment as proof of control or allow occupancy or commercial pressure to close serious actions without evidence. Site audits should sample whether controls are used in practice, such as contractor sign-in, plant-room access and resident-facing barriers, rather than reviewing documents alone. Serious findings need interim protection and senior escalation while a permanent remedy is planned, with residual risk and reopening authority recorded. Inspection programmes should prioritise higher-risk buildings and recent change while retaining proportionate coverage of quieter sites. Consultation records should show how employees, residents or contractors raised practical control failures.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Review site risk assessments.
  • Audit properties and contractor controls.
  • Investigate incidents and near misses.
  • Coordinate safety training and reporting.
  • Track corrective actions to evidence.
