Torus – Asset Compliance Review

Torus Group own and manage 40,000 homes across the North-West of England.

Objective

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.

What we did

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.

What we achieved

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.
