Overview
Following their successful building compliance event in April 2021, the IWFM Midlands Region is delighted to bring you a follow-up event on the new regulatory environment for fire safety, including changes embedded in the Fire Safety Act and the forthcoming Building Safety Bill, and what it all means to you as a workplace and facilities management professional.
The webinar panel will consist of Martin Ryan from MGR Fire, who has been feeding into Dame Judith Hackitt’s report ‘Building a Safer Future’ and consequent government’s policy, consultation and draft legislation, and Sofie Hooper, IWFM’s Head of Policy, who has been engaging with government and wider stakeholders to make sure that the building safety manager (BSM) role, competence requirements, and the wider ecosystem around the Bill can deliver on its core objective of safe homes for people.
Before answering live questions from the audience, the panel will discuss the important changes in both pieces of legislation, the new statutory roles of BSM and accountable person, what is expected from them in terms of competence and organisational capability, and what the expectations will be around fire risk assessments. This event will be hosted by Nicola Lathbury, Chair of IWFM Midlands Region.
