Fire Safety in Flats Conference

 

Fire Safety in Flats Conference on 8th March 2012, 8.30am - 12.30pm, The Congress Centre, 23-28 Great Russell Street, London.

An essential briefing on your responsibilities and liabilities as property managers and landlords of residential blocks.

Join a packed schedule of heavyweight speakers at News on the Block’s Fire Safety In Flats 2012 half-day conference.

Fire risks in blocks of flats can lead to some of the largest claims made to insurers and are a persistent worry for property managers and landlords alike.  Unlike other issues concerning the management of residential buildings, fire is particularly noteworthy because in multi-occupancy urban living it is particularly dangerous and poses a real risk to people’s lives.

Serious fires in residential buildings such as Lakanal House, Gibson Court, South Lodge, and Albert Court unfortunately testify to how every property manager’s worst nightmare can suddenly become stark reality.  Those who have personally witnessed the aftermath of a fire in a residential building will no doubt be able to share the horrific consequences as a warning to others.

This half-day briefing will provide you with essential guidance regarding your responsibilities and liabilities as property managers and landlords of residential blocks. 

CPD accredited for 2.5 hours.
