About the training

  • This event will set out what you need to do to demonstrate a commitment to making sure that everyone visiting and using your premises are kept safe, and what the penalties are if you get it wrong. We will outline some of the key areas of legislative and statutory compliance including asbestos management, fire risk, CDM etc and the associated servicing, testing and inspection regimes. We will also highlight some areas that you may never have thought about.

    We will move on to illustrate some of the real risks and issues that you might face in managing your buildings, and challenge the potential for contravention through some of your compliance procedures.
