October 13th – Building Safety Act 2022 – Online Presentation, Round Table and Discussion.
Following the Grenfell Tower Fire disaster in June 2017 The Building Safety Act was introduced in 2022. The act brought about, as a direct response to the findings reported in the Hackitt Review, exposed severe systemic failings, ignorance, and a lack of accountability in the construction industry, leading directly to the creation of the Act.
The Act implements vital lessons and recommendations stemming from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, addressing gaps in how high-risk buildings are designed, constructed, and managed.
On the 13th October we are organising an online presentation and discussion, in association with our partners, The British Materials Handling Federation, to highlight the safety considerations for businesses and individuals responsible for large buildings in our industry. The event is intended to raise awareness, further, of the changes that have been made and ensure safety is of paramount concern and our overriding priority.

Why should we be concerned about the Building Safety Act 2022? Tickets, Tuesday, October 13 • 10 AM – 11:30 AM | Eventbrite
The session will start at 10am and last for approximately 90 minutes.
