11 simple steps that define a process designed to help building owners establish an essential safety measures maintenance program that achieves compliance.

Identify the contractor or contractors who can demonstrate they can help you achieve 'Item 1'

7

Issue a 'scope of work' for the contractor(s) to enable you to achieve 'Item 1'

Develop a consistent methodology for each site to store, record and monitor the necessary logbooks and documentation as evidence to achieve 'Item 1'

9

Communicate the plan with ALL internal stake holders.
