If the responsibilities regarding the health and safety in a commercial property are not set out in the lease agreement, the landlord is automatically responsible for providing a hazard-free commercial property.

As a commercial landlord, you are responsible for complying with the health and safety laws and regulations within the building you own, such as having risk assessments, managing asbestos and to ensure a registered gas safe engineer inspects the property.

The primary obligations of landlords are:

• to keep fully up to date with legislation governing the health and safety of tenants,
• a duty of care towards members of the public.

We have drafted this Policy to cover all the regulations and legislation relating to health and safety. This Policy is comprehensive and up to date.
