Property Risk Audits

Ensuring Safety and Compliance in Every Corner

Commercial property owners, landlords, and managing agents constantly face complexities and challenges in managing property risks and meeting a wide range of legislative and compliance requirements. Navigating these complexities can be even more challenging, particularly where the business owns multiple buildings across larger portfolios, which often are geographically spread.

The Safety Lab NZ in-depth property risk audits and compliance services provide a consolidated view of these risks to help Health & Safety and HR Managers, Property and Facilities Management Professionals understand their obligations, highlight potential compliance gaps and support them with the end-to-end management process of property risk.

Auditing Options

We understand that different properties and portfolios have unique needs based on design, usage, and environment. That's why we offer three distinct types of property risk audits:
  1. Desktop Audit: A thorough examination of your compliance and risk management documentation to help you understand what you have in place to control and manage your risks and how those controls are used.

  2. On-Site Assessment: A comprehensive on-site assessment of your building that gives you an understanding of how your risk management controls and the building is being used.

  3. Full Audit: An extensive combination of a deep-drive document review to look at what controls you have, if those controls are in place and if they are understood and used. This is coupled with interviews with site management that focus on their understanding and application of your processes, followed by an on-site inspection that maps your building and provides a virtual walk-through of findings and risks related to compliance.

Our Property Risk Auditing Approach

The Safety Lab NZ brings extensive expertise in managing risk and compliance across diverse property portfolios. Whether you're dealing with a small, single-location portfolio or an extensive, multi-site national portfolio, our approach is tailored to meet your properties' specific needs.

We understand that while the core principles of compliance remain consistent, the strategies we employ vary depending on the type of property—be it retail, commercial, industrial, or residential—and the nature of your client relationship, whether you are an owner, a property manager, or acting on behalf of a tenant.

Initial Establishment
We start by understanding your portfolio and risk attitude. Are you aiming for minimum legislative compliance, best practice, or somewhere in between?

Gap Analysis
We begin to establish and build an overall snapshot of your risk and compliance status against the scope we have agreed upon with you.

Reporting
We provide detailed reports on risk and compliance issues and good practices across your portfolio, followed by a meeting to discuss findings, approaches and solutions.

Risk Management Program
Based on our findings, if requested, we develop a program of works aimed at improving compliance and mitigating risks. This program is reviewed periodically to ensure the addition of ongoing value.

Ongoing Support
If requested, we create your personalised web portal and load your observations, recommendations, and virtual images. From there, we help keep you on track with their management and closure while providing you with access to your information and progress reporting on demand.
