This year will see the implementation of ‘once in a generation’ cultural and competence changes in building safety law; to support facilities managers in implementing the many new requirements, IWFM has introduced a new, industry leading, CPD approved course ‘Building Safety Act: what FMs need to know and do’.
Delivered by Anthony Taylor, one of the leading experts in the development of the competences needed to deliver against the new regulations, this intensive one-day course, conveniently offered as live virtual training via Zoom, is designed to give FMs the essential, practical information they need to understand and comply with the raft of changes brought in by the Building Safety Act 2022 and related legislation.
Most of these changes are relevant to all building work, including refurbishment in occupation; therefore, if you are working in mixed use buildings, or hospitals and care homes, you will need to understand the new requirements. Some new duties apply to residential buildings in occupation, too, heavily impacting the role of FMs.
Furthermore, from an FM perspective, the new requirements are projected to rapidly filter through to commercial property as best practice.
The ‘Building Safety Act: what FMs need to know and do’ course will:
- provide you with all theinformation you need to understand the new requirements and comply with them
- help you navigate your responsibility
- provide practical techniques for how to assess, deliver and support compliance.
The course will cover the following areas in more detail:
- Session 1 – Overview
- Session 2 – In-Occupation: New Regime
- Session 3 – In-Occupation: Competence, Capability and Fire Safety Management
- Session 4 – Part 3: Management of Building Works
Members receive a discount on all courses.
This year also marks the Institute’s thirtieth anniversary which it is celebrating by fulfilling a new three-year strategy to bring extra value to IWFM members and enable continuing professional development to the critical workplace and facilities management profession. This new course exemplifies this approach.
