WOBO thanks the SHP Women in Health and Safety link to the update on building safety.

The Women in Health & Safety network’s next virtual event takes place on Tuesday July 20. The event is free to attend and is open to all, male and female, member and non-members.

Date: Tuesday 20 July 2021

Time: 11:00 – 12:00 BST

The Grenfell Tower tragedy exposed failings in the building and management of high-rise homes. In order to address those failings, improve standards in industry and to ensure people feel safe in their homes, the government has published the Building Safety Bill which will introduce a new regulatory regime for the management of fire and building safety in higher risk buildings.

Join us for a roundtable discussion about the new building safety regime and how the role of Fire Engineers is changing as a result of the Building Safety Bill. Claire Morrissey, a Principal Associate at Shoosmiths LLP has teamed up with Fire Engineers Kate Swinburne, Sarah Ward and Janine Osbourne of OFR Consultants to discuss the key legal and practical issues arising from the Building Safety Bill. The world of construction and fire engineering is often perceived as a male dominated working environment and Kate, Sarah and Janine will provide their views on how their roles have and continue to evolve in an environment which is undergoing seismic shifts both culturally and professionally.
