Yet, the gap between expectations and delivery – driven by funding constraints and a shortage of skilled professionals – poses real risks. When competency is lacking, the consequences can be severe: injuries, fatalities and long-term reputational damage.
This CPD event offers a unique opportunity to:
- Gain insights from leading University of Portsmouth academics on risk perception and organisational resilience
- Learn from Rockwool’s fire-safety innovations and their new global centre of excellence
- Explore mentoring and CIOB membership pathways.
