Specialist Maintenance Contractor Statement Monitoring - Annual Maintenance Statement

EPS provides a "Specialist Maintenance Contractors Statement Monitoring Service" that monitors your maintenance contractor's essential safety and health features & measures compliance through our unique software. This statement monitoring service ensures that your statutory obligations are met through the provision by maintenance contractors, of a statement certifying that their essential safety and health features & measures inspections, testing and maintenance has been performed to the clients' contracts. This service is based on the Building Regulations 2004, Section I Maintenance Building Code of Australia and ensures your statutory obligations are met when signing the Annual Maintenance Statement.

Compliance with Essential Safety and Health Features & Measures legislation is an issue of significant interest to building owners, managers, owners corporations, property purchasers, tenants, building visitors, insurance companies and authorities. Statement monitoring is particularly useful when:

A dispute arises relating to the lack of testing and maintenance of Essential Safety and Health Features & Measures;
A loss occurs as a result of the failure of Essential Safety and Health Features & Measures to operate in the event of an emergency;
A building owner is served with a notice or determination from an authority for non compliance under Essential Safety and Health Features & Measures legislation.

EPS statement monitoring service provides a safeguard to minimise the risk exposure presented to building owners (managers) when essential safety and health features & measures have failed in an emergency, causing property damage or injury to a person. Our statement monitoring service required the Specialist Maintenance Contractors Statements to certify (on specific dates each year), that they have performed all required inspections, tests and remedial maintenance works on their contracted essential safety and health features & measures. The statement monitoring system provides signed statements which help provide legal assurance that the contracted maintenance works have been successfully completed and allows the building owner, occupier, or agent to sign the Annual Maintenance Statement.

The Building Regulations 2004 require the owner or agent to sign an annual maintenance statement certifying compliance with the legislation. EPS has developed a software program that tracks all essential safety and health features & measures statements required by your contractors, specific to each building. Each maintenance contractors' statement is obtained or you are advised through our statement monitoring otherwise, before the building owner is required to sign the Annual Maintenance Statement under applicable legislation.
