POSHO Residential Safety Inspection
In accordance with 15 FAM requirements, safety, health, and environmental hazards must be identified in the selection of housing to eliminate the possibility of dangerous conditions that can cause serious injuries or fatalities. The intent is to correct serious hazards and then, through effective management, ensure that safe conditions persist for as long as the residence is occupied. Posts must verify and document that the post occupational safety and health officer (POSHO) has inspected residences under consideration for purchase or lease by the U. S. Government for safety, health, and environmental hazards, and that those hazards have been effectively controlled or eliminated. A similar inspection must be conducted and documented for living quarters allowance (LQA) residences; the resident can then negotiate with the lessor to make the required and/or recommended changes or find another suitable residence. No employee may occupy a U. S. Government-owned or U. S. Government-leased residence unless the POSHO certifies that the requirements in this report are met.
