Hard Facilities Management also know as HFM is about ensuring that all mechanical and electrical equipment is regularly serviced and maintained to provide safety in your building.
Areas such as roofing, and guttering, should also form part of the HFM service as they can have a direct impact on the safety of the property. So too does the management of water hygiene, which should also come under the scope of HFM, ensuring that water supplies meet hygiene requirements set out by the government. Fire prevention is also an essential aspect to providing a safe environment for employees and ‘hfm’ ensures that fire-fighting equipment is appropriately located and regularly serviced in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines. Sprinkler systems, smoke or fire alarms, exit signs and emergency lighting can also be regularly inspected through HFM and works assigned to electricians to solve any deficiencies noted on reports conducted by our inspectors.
