Community Health & Safety
We help you manage the day-to-day risks associated with the health and safety of people entering your strata property and report injuries, incidents, and hazards on your common property to fulfill your duty of care.
Community health and safety is important for each and every individual because we all desire to live and work in a safe and protected environment.
Being proactive in managing potential risks and promoting wellness is a duty and moral responsibility of any committee, owners corporation and business to look after their residents and staff.
