CHC's first ever Safety Summit - save the date!

Community Housing Cymru is holding its first Safety Summit on Wednesday 3 June which hosts a range of speakers and networking opportunities in a one-day summit event. The event has a particular focus on fire safety and health and safety following CHC’s decision to bring together its fire safety and health and safety groups for this summit.

A wide range of topic areas will be covered throughout the day via workshops and main sessions. Since the fire safety group was set up back in 2012, a key focus of the meeting has been high risk accommodation and debate over fire risk assessments in terms of what fire safety guidance applies to what types of accommodation. CHC is therefore delighted that Mark Andrews from the London Fire Brigade and Chief Fire Officers Association is able to attend the summit and give an update on the high risk accommodation project that he has been a part of. As well as technical and operational information provided throughout the day, delegates can hear key policy updates on subjects such as the Domestic Fire Safety Regulations 2013, the Construction (Design and Management) regulations 2015 and more.

Workshop sessions will cover topics such as occupational health, asbestos management, legionella, practical application of fire risk assessments. Furthermore, a range of surgeries will be held throughout the day in which delegates can have one to one discussions on subjects such as electrical safety and fire safety. There will also be plenty of opportunities throughout the day to engage with a wide range of exhibitors at the summit.

CHC will be promoting the use of Twitter on the day so that delegates can get involved in discussions online - please use the #safetysummit15 hashtag.
