This is the Housing Health and Safety Rating System which is a system that identifies hazards that may be present in a property and then assesses the risk posed by the presence of that hazard.
So if the Environmental Health Department or the Council do an inspection of your property they will identify any present hazards (against 29 defined hazards listed in the HHSRS) and carry out a risk assessment based on the likelihood of an incident occurring.

Think about the hazard excess cold – It is mid winter the boiler goes down, the tenant is an 80 year old individual.
The hazard is identified and the risk of injury to the individual is high.

So if you are a landlord we suggest you ‘Google’ HHSRS and acquaint yourself 29 hazards that may be present in the Home.
It is important to make sure your property is safe especially now that the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation Bill) 2018 has been introduced.
