Time: 10:00am to 11:00am
Location: Online Webinar

During our online Knowledge Banks, you will have the opportunity to listen and interact during sessions and not only update your knowledge but ask questions to help solve any issues you may have.

This webinar presented by James Purdey, Technical Director at 4site Consulting will consider the increasing focus on competency, evidence, accountability and proportionality within fire risk assessment, and what property managers should be looking for when appointing and working with competent fire risk assessors. It will also explore how legislation, updated guidance, industry learning and regulatory expectations are influencing the way assessments are undertaken, documented and reviewed.

James will look at what a good fire risk assessment should provide, how recommendations should be interpreted and managed, the importance of maintaining appropriate supporting evidence, and why assessor competency needs to reflect the complexity of the building being assessed.

Designed to provide clear and practical guidance rather than simply review legislation, the session will help property managers better understand what they should expect from a fire risk assessment and make more informed decisions when managing fire safety across their portfolios.
