123CA: Programmes of inspections to monitor and assess compliance with healthy homes standards

You could also call this:

“The boss can create plans to check if homes meet health rules”

The chief executive can create and carry out programmes to inspect homes and facilities. These inspections are done to check if the homes meet the healthy homes standards. The chief executive can look at the building, as well as things inside it like furniture and appliances. This is part of the chief executive’s job to make sure homes are healthy and safe. When we talk about the chief executive’s job, we’re referring to section 123(1)(ca) of the law.
