Talking about what next in building safety with PBC Today

While there is a need to attract more people to the building safety industry, the reality is that once people come, they often don’t leave until they retire. Randy Scheid is among the many building safety professionals who shared their thoughts on the most essential skills that are needed to succeed in this industry. Read on for their important advice. #CodeCouncil #BuildingSafety365

As we step into Construction Safety Week, it’s a pivotal time for us to reflect on the importance of safety and health within the construction industry. This week serves as a powerful reminder that safety goes beyond policies and procedures; it's about creating a culture where every worker returns home safely at the end of the day. . Remember, a safe construction site is not only about preventing accidents but also about building a foundation of trust and respect among all team members. Let's work together to ensure that safety is not just a priority but a core value within our teams and projects. . #ConstructionSafetyWeek #SafetyCulture #BuildSafe #commercialconstruction #retail #generalcontractor #casecontracting #construction #safety

At the heart of the Building Safety Act 2022 is a desire to make buildings safer and avoid mistakes that have previously led to catastrophic incidents. See this article by K2's Phil Worboys

The last in this year's webinar series will be on Building Safety

Yet more standing on the sidelines shouting at the industry. They may as well be shouting in a bucket. You can’t create wholesale cultural change in a complex supply chain when you don’t even understand the fundamentals of its complexity and refuse to listen when people try to explain why they can’t comply.

Interesting overview from James Traynor and John Heaney MCIAT, CEPHD on progress in the industry since the changes to building regulations last year with a positive outlook. The construction industry is coming to terms with the changes but it is a marathon rather than a sprint as we change not just the behaviour of designers, but the approach across the whole supply chain, procurement route, suppliers, and manufacturers. Thank you for mentioning the ATLG in the article!

🏗️ Embracing the Golden Thread of Safety: The Building Safety Act 2023 🏢 The landscape of construction and design is entering a new era of accountability and excellence with the Building Safety Act 2023's introduction of the 'golden thread' principle. This pivotal change beckons us to ponder: how will our practices evolve in response to these essential procedural reforms? In the spirit of enhancing safety, it's time to scrutinise our current policies. Are there adjustments we can implement to not only comply with regulations but also improve our workflow and outcomes? The 'golden thread' isn't just a mandate; it's an opportunity to refine our approach to building safety from inception through completion. Collaboration is key. A more integrated partnership between designers and constructors could be the cornerstone for success under this new legislation. Shared knowledge and joint strategy are vital components that can significantly uplift project quality, ensuring safety remains paramount in every phase. But what about industry impact? Could this be a defining moment where true professionals shine—sorting the 'wheat from the chaff'? There’s potential for elevated standards leading to higher-quality builds and increased public trust. Or do you foresee these measures as another complex layer added to an already intricate tapestry of regulations—potentially hindering progress with additional bureaucracy? We want your insights! How are you planning on weaving the 'golden thread' into your professional canvas? Share your thoughts on partnerships, collaborative efforts, and teamwork within the realms of safety and beyond. #BuildingSafetyAct2023 #GoldenThreadPrinciple #SafetyFirst #Partnerships #CollaborativeEfforts #TeamworkInConstruction
