Need help complying with Building Safety Act changes? Book our one-day course

News

 

On 6 April, a raft of changes in building safety law started to be introduced by the Building Safety Act 2022 and related legislation. It is crucial that facilities management professionals understand the changes to ensure they are compliant. If you are an FM and you want support with implementing the new building safety requirements, you can book a place on IWFM’s new CPD approved course, 'Building Safety Act: what FMs need to know and do’.

This intensive one-day course is delivered by Anthony Taylor, one of the leading experts in the development of the competences needed to deliver against the new regulations. A selection of Anthony’s outstanding credentials include: Interim Chair of Building Safety Alliance; Chair of CSG Working Group 8; Industry Lead for PAS 8673; member of BSI Committee for Standards in Built Environment CBP/1; and member of IWFM’s Life Safety Working Group.

The learning outcomes of 'Building Safety Act: what FMs need to know and do’ provide all the essential knowledge required by FMs to comply with the new requirements. Failing to comply with certain requirements of the new building safety regime is a criminal offence, but as IWFM’s Head of Policy has stated, ‘There is a real opportunity for the FM profession to support the effective implementation of these measures’.

While much of the new regime relates to management of residential property only, Part 3 of the Act relates to all building work, including refurbishment in occupation. This means that FMs working in mixed use buildings, hospitals or care homes also need to understand the new requirements. Furthermore, IWFM anticipates that many of the new requirements will quickly filter through to commercial property as best practice.
