Statutory compliance, managed on your behalf

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, employers are responsible for protecting their people, from fire safety and electrical compliance to water hygiene and emergency preparedness. For growing companies without dedicated facilities teams, staying on top of these obligations can be a significant burden.

Kitt's workplace compliance services handle the full scope of statutory office compliance on your behalf, so the workspace meets its legal requirements, and occupants can work safely every day.

Protecting your people and your business

Faulty electrics, poorly maintained fire equipment, or contaminated water systems pose serious risks to your people and your operations. In the event of an incident, demonstrating that proper checks were in place is essential.

For tenants in managed offices, responsibility can be unclear. Some obligations fall to the landlord, others to the occupier. Kitt acts as the bridge, coordinating landlord compliance services alongside your statutory duties so nothing falls through the gaps.

The full scope of our compliance services

Our building compliance services cover the essential checks, tests, and certifications required to keep your office compliant. These include:

• Fixed wire testing every five years to verify that the electrical infrastructure behind walls, under floors, and at distribution boards is safe and up to standard.
• Fire risk assessments are conducted every five years and reviewed annually to identify potential hazards and confirm your space meets fire safety regulations.
• Fire extinguisher checks: monthly visual inspections, plus annual servicing to confirm equipment is operational and correctly positioned.
• Legionella testing with water sampling every 6 months to detect harmful bacteria, alongside monthly temperature monitoring.
• Water risk assessments: comprehensive reviews of your office's demise area water systems every two years to identify risks, such as stagnant pipework.
• PAT testing annually for all plug-in equipment, checking for frayed cables, damaged plugs, and safe load levels.
• Emergency lighting tests, including monthly activation checks and an annual three-hour drain test to confirm backup lighting will function during an outage.

Each service is delivered on schedule, with records maintained and certificates provided for your compliance files.

Consistent oversight for an audit-ready office

Beyond the major statutory tests, we carry out monthly checks to ensure your space remains safe and well-managed:

• First aid box inspections
• Security system checks
• Health and safety signage reviews
• Water temperature testing
• Fire extinguisher checks
• Fire egress route checks

For buildings where Kitt manages the entire property, we also coordinate larger-scale compliance work, including biannual dry riser inspections and automatic opening vent commissions.

Kitt's certified specialists (including chartered surveyors, as well as qualified electricians, carpenters, and more) carry out the work to the required standards, so you don't need to become an expert yourself. Your workspace stays compliant, well-maintained, and ready for inspection.
