How to Assess Properties using the HHSRS This is the first day of two one-day training courses designed to look at the practical application and implications of the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). Background The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is the current means by which housing conditions are assessed. You can find out more background information about the HHSRS on our resources pages here: resources We are finding that many organisations are still not clear about the practical application of the HHSRS. The Housing Corporation has said it does not expect housing providers to undertake full HHSRS surveys of their properties, but that housing providers and front line staff should be aware of all 29 hazards identified under the HHSRS, and should ensure that staff are able to identify them and to respond to tenants queries about them. Staff working for enforcement sections need to understand the how to use the HHSRS in order to take enforcement action under Part 1 of the Housing Act 2004. Aims of this course: By the end of this course, participants will have a basic understanding of the principles behind the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. This course uses the Upkeep Exhibition to help participants to understand and work through the process by which properties are assessed and to find out more about how it operates in practice. This is a highly practical course which includes practical work in the Exhibition. Designed for: People who need to understand the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and how properties are assessed, including:
