Short answer

The dangerous checks aren't the weekly ones — they're the ones on multi-year cycles that nobody currently in post has ever done. The usual suspects for any council with a building: the EICR (fixed electrical installation condition report — commonly on a five-year cycle for non-domestic premises), the fire risk assessment and its periodic review, PAT testing of portable appliances, boiler / heating servicing, and the legionella risk assessment review. Add the building as an asset and schedule each of these at its cycle — then it surfaces by itself instead of relying on someone remembering.

Detail

Weekly and monthly checks look after themselves — someone notices when they stop. A five-year electrical inspection has usually outlived the clerk who commissioned the last one, which is exactly how it gets missed. Scheduling these in Civic.ly turns "institutional memory" into a task that appears when due, whoever is in post.

Most of these are carried out by external contractors — the scheduled task is your prompt to book them, and the completed record (date, certificate photo, notes) is your evidence trail.

Watch-outs

  • Intervals here are indicative, not legal advice. The right cycle for your premises depends on the building, its use, and your insurer's terms — confirm with your assessor or insurer, then schedule that.
  • Don't forget review dates as well as the original assessment — a fire risk assessment isn't "done once".
