Torus Group own and manage 40,000 homes across the North-West of England.
To support Torus to undertake a comprehensive ‘safety plus’ self-assessment of asset compliance. This was to establish if Torus policies and processes around the six areas of asset health & safety (namely: gas, electric, water, fire, asbestos and lifting equipment) met the legal and regulatory minimum requirements, and identify any gaps and outline areas where the current approach exceeded the minimum requirements.
We undertook a desktop review of relevant documentation, including policies, procedures, KPIs etc. This was followed up with a series of onsite interviews with key staff and some sample testing of the systems and processes.
We provided Torus with a base position of what the current regulatory and legal obligations are in relation to asset health and safety, and assurance that these are being met. We identified areas where the current approach exceeds the minimum legal and regulatory minimum and provided recommendations of where they could improve.
