Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check concrete, pavers, tiles and decking for uneven levels, cracked edges, loose pavers, slippery finishes and drainage problems that leave standing water. These are common injury points around front doors, side paths and alfresco transitions.
We assess stair treads/risers for consistency, handrail stability, and balustrade height and openings in accessible areas. Loose fixings and unsafe gaps can create serious fall risks, particularly on internal staircases and raised outdoor decks.
We review the internal garage entry for step/threshold hazards, obstructions, and conditions that can affect safe exit during an emergency. We also note issues like poor lighting or damaged surfaces that increase the chance of slips in a high-traffic zone.
We look for visible hazards such as damaged power points, exposed wiring, unsafe DIY work indicators, and moisture-risk locations (like laundries and outdoor areas). We flag items that should be reviewed by a licensed electrician.
We check doors and windows for operation issues that can cause injury (sticking, slamming, broken hardware) and note glazing concerns where there’s increased impact risk. Faulty latches can also affect child safety and emergency egress.
If there’s a pool or spa, we visually check fence condition, gate latching and self-closing action, and any climbable objects near the barrier. We identify obvious non-conformities and advise when a dedicated pool barrier compliance check is needed.

Get Safety Hazards as part of a comprehensive inspection package
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Cranbourne West, we often see hazards around outdoor entertaining areas (uneven pavers, slippery tiles, drainage ponding), internal stairs and balustrades (loose rails or unsafe gaps), and garage entries (awkward step heights and trip points). Electrical concerns can also show up in outdoor power points and wet areas. The inspection focuses on accessible risks that can injure occupants or compromise safe exit.
Yes. A Building and Pest inspection assesses the overall condition of the structure and looks for pest activity, while a Safety Hazards inspection is targeted at injury and incident risk—falls, electrical dangers, unsafe barriers, and hazardous access/egress points. Many buyers choose both so they understand the property’s condition and the immediate safety issues that could affect how the home is used from day one.
We note obvious smoke alarm presence and visible issues where accessible, but we don’t perform specialist certification or test electrical circuits. If we find missing alarms, poor placement, or other red flags, we’ll record them and recommend the right next step, such as engaging a licensed electrician or appropriately qualified contractor to confirm compliance and rectify any fire safety concerns.
They can. Newer homes may still develop issues like shifting pavers, drainage that leaves slippery surfaces, loose handrails, or defects in door and window hardware. Renovations and DIY changes can also introduce risks, such as unsafe outdoor power points or non-compliant barriers. A Safety Hazards inspection helps you confirm the home is safe to live in, not just that it looks modern.
Yes. The report describes each hazard, where it is, why it matters, and practical next steps. We prioritise issues so you can act quickly on urgent items (for example, unstable rails or obvious electrical hazards) and schedule lower-risk maintenance. Where a licensed trade is required, we’ll clearly recommend the appropriate professional to assess and complete compliant repairs.
