Essential Safety Measures (ESM) refer to the safety systems and features installed in buildings to protect occupants in case of emergencies. These measures include fire alarms, emergency lighting, sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, exit signs, fire doors, and other critical safety infrastructure.Regular maintenance, inspection, and testing of ESM are required to ensure compliance with building regulations and safety standards. Building owners and managers must conduct routine ESM reporting to document the condition of these systems, any repairs or upgrades needed, and the overall safety status of the building.Proper management of ESM ensures that a building remains legally compliant, reduces safety risks, and provides a secure environment for occupants in the event of fire or other emergencies.
