Benefits Of Facilities management & Maintenance
Non-Compliance With Australian Standards
FM ensures adherence to key standards such as:
- AS 1851 – Routine service of fire protection systems and equipment
- AS 2293 – Emergency escape lighting and exit signs
- AS 3745 – Planning for emergencies in facilities
- AS/NZS 4801 / ISO 45001 – Safety management systems
Increased Safety Risks
Without professional oversight:
- Essential safety measures may be inadequately maintained.
- Emergency management procedures may not be up-to-date.
- Contractors may perform work unsafely or outside required standards.
Owner Liability Under WHS Legislation
As a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, you hold a legal duty of care to ensure the building is safe for occupants, contractors, and visitors.
If an incident occurs and it is found that:
- Maintenance was inadequate,
- Compliance obligations were not met, or
- Risk controls were insufficient and the building owner, may be held liable.
Increased Operational and Financial Risk
Without proper facilities management, the property may face:
- premature plant and asset failures
- inflated repair costs due to lack of proactive maintenance
- non-compliant contractor work
- reduced asset value over time
