This is the most popular service we offer as it is also the most common element. As mentioned above, MINC Services have some 6000 buildings in their portfolio and their management is legally obligated to manage this aspect of their business. Many of these properties are managed by companies that already employ full time staff to attend to this area of O.H. & S., however as happens regularly, they rely on frequently outsourcing this service to comfort themselves that their systems are in compliance with the ever changing legislation.
