Management of residential buildings especially requires organized procedures for identifying hazards, reducing accidents and reducing exposure to harmful substances and situations. This may involve any of the following good practices:
documenting procedures in writing,
maintaining incident records, and
providing training in safety and prevention, accident response and emergency preparedness.
