Window Safety Device Inspection Coordination

Professional coordination of mandatory window safety device inspections and compliance records

Service Overview

Strata schemes across NSW must comply with state legislation requiring that window safety devices are installed, operational, and capable of restricting openings to 125mm or less. In NSW, this has been a strict requirement since 2018, and similar obligations apply in other states under building and safety regulations.

For many self-managed committees, staying on top of these requirements is challenging:

  • Knowing which windows need devices
  • Arranging a qualified contractor to inspect and certify compliance
  • Keeping proper records for insurance, tribunal matters, and regulator audits
  • Following up on failed inspections and defective devices

Failure to comply exposes committees to serious liability risks, penalties, and safety hazards if a fall occurs.

Our Window Safety Device Inspection Coordination service ensures your scheme’s inspection obligations are met in full. We handle contractor engagement, scheduling, access coordination, record keeping, and compliance reminders — so your committee doesn’t miss deadlines or risk breaches.

This service is ideal for:

  • Self-managed schemes without a managing agent overseeing compliance
  • Committees unsure of which windows or devices must be inspected
  • Schemes overdue for their compliance cycle
  • Buildings with many lots and access challenges needing structured coordination
