Safety Hazards Inspection in Ringwood East

In Ringwood East we often see trip hazards where extensions meet original floor levels, loose or low handrails on older stairs, and decking wear from shaded, leafy yards. Slippery paths and uneven paving can also be an issue on sloping blocks. We document these hazards with photos and explain the likely cause and the practical next step to rectify them.

Yes. A building inspection focuses on the overall condition of the structure and major defects, while a Safety Hazards inspection concentrates on injury and liability risks—things like unsafe stairs, loose balustrades, trip points, and visible electrical red flags. Many buyers in Ringwood East choose this service to target the issues most likely to affect day-to-day living and immediate repair priorities.

We check for visible and accessible warning signs such as damaged outlets, exposed wiring, unsafe temporary connections, and indicators that an older switchboard may be present. We do not perform electrical compliance testing or switchboard disassembly. If we identify concerns, we recommend follow-up by a licensed electrician and clearly note the risk level in the report.

Sloping sites can create uneven approaches, steep driveways, and tricky side access, which increases slip and fall risk—especially in wet weather or shaded areas. We pay close attention to the condition of steps, edges, paths and transitions around entries and outdoor areas. Where practical, we’ll also note issues like poor drainage that can worsen surface deterioration over time.

Yes. The report helps you prioritise what to fix first, particularly hazards that could cause injury or create liability concerns. We include photos and clear descriptions so you can obtain quotes and brief trades accurately.
