Why compliance matters to owners
Essential Safety Measures (ESMs) are the systems that protect life and property — things like fire doors, alarms, exit lighting, and ventilation. When these aren’t properly maintained, a building can lose compliance, endanger occupants, and even affect insurance and resale value.
A Zero-Defect audit result means that, at the time of audit, every critical safety measure was performing as intended and records were up to date — a rare and commendable achievement.
