safe housing standards

Safe housing standards are regulations designed to ensure buildings are healthy and secure for residents. They cover aspects like structural integrity to prevent collapse, proper sanitation to reduce health risks, adequate ventilation, safe electrical systems, and the absence of hazards such as mold or pests. Standards also ensure proper fire safety measures, including working smoke alarms and clear escape routes, and access to essentials like clean water and safe heating. Adhering to these standards helps protect occupants from accidents, health issues, and unsafe living conditions, promoting overall well-being and safety in homes.
