Structural failure of poles presents an immediate and serious danger.
It is a critical misconception that only tall poles pose a safety risk. Garden and walkway poles can be equally hazardous when their structural integrity is compromised, exposing residents and pedestrians to the risk of severe injury or death. A recent incident at a condominium in the West underscores how real and imminent this threat is. This is a preventable risk. Waiting until a failure occurs is unacceptable. Condominium FM managers should proactively conduct thorough inspections, verifying structural integrity, and implementing corrective measures without delay. Failure to act places lives at risk and exposes management to serious liability.
