Event Summary
Webinar Overview
Our two-day free webinar comprises of a keynote speech followed by focussed presentations around the key themes. At the end of the speaker sessions, there will be an open panel discussion among the speakers on both days. You will have the opportunity to ask questions directly of our panel in advance or during webinar.
KEY THEMES
- Clarification of the Hackitt report, eight key recommendations and discussion around the specific evidence that regulation change is having the desired effect
- When are we likely to see more rigorous enforcement taking place and greater action against non-compliance? Is 1 October 2023 another pivotal point?
- How will these changes impact buildings other than ‘HRRB’ and over what timeframe will we start to see clarity?
- How are these changes impacting industry directly (from design and build through to occupancy and maintenance)?
- What does it take to achieve transparency of fire information throughout the building lifecycle?
- What obstacles and challenges are organisations experiencing in applying change (processes, finances, skills and competencies, culture) and do we have a skills gap?
- Is culture really shifting from ‘web of blame’ to ownership and accountability?
