Housing Health and Safety Rating System
The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is a framework used in the United Kingdom to assess the safety and health risks in residential properties. It evaluates various hazards, such as dampness, overcrowding, and fire safety, to determine the overall condition of a home. The system helps local authorities identify properties that may pose a risk to occupants' health and well-being.
HHSRS is based on a scoring system that categorizes hazards into different levels of severity. This allows for targeted interventions to improve housing conditions. By addressing these risks, the HHSRS aims to ensure that all residents have access to safe and healthy living environments.
