Who Is Responsible? The Body Corporate Impasse Towards Maintenance Responsibilities
Not All Body Corporates Are Taking Responsibility For The Removal Of Risk.
Owners have notified some bodies corporates that their ventilation system needs maintenance. The accumulation of lint and material content within the ventilation system creates risk and can act as a fire load. We first addressed our concerns regarding system maintenance responsibilities direct with BCCM and QFES in 2016. Further, SafeAir’s articles have highlighted the importance of potential risks.

Remove risk from your apartment buildings ventilation systems with SafeAir.
Some bodies corporates have advised SafeAir that it is not the committees responsibility to clean the system, and to contact owners direct, however, in our request for owners information, these details are not available due to privacy.
At this point, communication ceases. This can only be described as a complete impasse in enabling SafeAir to move forward with deep-cleaning the buildings ventilation systems to remove risk (even though BCCM and QFES recommend property owners and managing entities perform regular maintenance programs on these systems, and identify and remove potential risks that may accumulate over time.)
SafeAir Asks:
“if there is any support from the proactive bodies corporates we work with, to enable us to move forward – It would be greatly appreciated.”
To assist us, contact SafeAir direct. Together, we can make these systems safer, cleaner, and more efficient for residents and guests.
