Health and safety
Health and safety
Our first priority at Settle is to keep our residents and colleagues safe, to protect their health and promote wellbeing.
We work to meet all of the health and safety requirements on us as a landlord and employer, including health and safety legislation and requirements in the standards set by our Regulator, which include providing a home that is safe.
We have a Health, Safety, and Wellbeing Board, chaired by one of our Executive Directors on behalf of our chief executive. The group meets every 6 weeks to keep oversight of and make decisions on matters linked to the health, safety, and wellbeing of all residents and colleagues. This group provides a report to the Settle Board on a bi-annual basis.
We fulfil all regulatory responsibilities and often do more than we are legally required to do regarding resident safety, reflecting the importance we place on this.
For the properties we own and manage, we will always work to be 100% compliant on all safety requirements. We report on safety measures through the Tenant Satisfaction Measures.
An important part of keeping our residents safe in their homes day-to-day is through our repairs service and our emergency repairs service.
