Keeping buildings safe for the people who run them and use them.
Facility teams maintain the services a building depends on — electrical systems, lifts, rooftop plant, fire systems — while the building stays occupied. The work is varied, often unsupervised and frequently at height or near live equipment.
Safety context in Facility Management.
Facility management brings housekeeping, technical maintenance and building services under one contract, often with mixed teams and frequent changes of site. Work on rooftops, façades, plant rooms and electrical panels goes on alongside the offices, malls, hospitals and homes the building serves.
Eduforce applies its working at height, electrical safety, fire safety and evacuation, confined space and first aid disciplines to these environments, alongside fire and electrical audits and inspection of the fixed line and anchorage systems on the building itself.
What this industry has to manage.
Rooftop and façade work
Access to roofs, plant decks and building exteriors needs fall protection and anchor points that are inspected, not assumed.
Live electrical services
Panels, distribution boards and plant rooms are maintained while the building stays energised and occupied.
Fire and evacuation readiness
Fire systems, escape routes and drills depend on trained staff on every shift.
Tanks, pits and plant spaces
Water tanks, sewage pits and service shafts can be confined spaces with oxygen or gas hazards.
