It is the responsibility of the Building Owner to provide a safe environment for their employees and the general public. In many circumstances the Building Owner will be assisted in accomplishing this task through the knowledge and work of a Facility Manager that helps keep up the maintenance of the building. Many times a company is too small to be able to afford an on staff Facility Manager and they rely on local contractors to assist them. That being said, it is still the responsibility of the Building Owner to provide that safe environment.
