A CIOB Midlands CPD event will explore two of the most pressing challenges facing construction today: building safety competence and delivering sustainability without compromising safety.
Build Safe. Build Smart. Build Sustainable, brings together leading voices from across the industry to deliver practical, relevant and immediately useful data.
Taking place at the Crowne Plaza Birmingham NEC on 23 April, this morning event will be chaired by Mark Johnston FCIOB, director of Cube Construction Consultants and CIOB Nottingham Hub vice chair.
He will explore building safety competence and capability – what the difference really is, what current regulations require, and how organisations and individuals can confidently demonstrate compliance. Johnston will be joined by an expert panel including Pete Dawber, chartered building engineer and consultant; Alasdair Mealey, technical leader in building safety at Laing O’Rourke; and Dave Vanderson, principal director at Weedon Architects.
The second session will focus on sustainability and safety, chaired by Amanda Williams FISEP CEnv, head of environmental sustainability at CIOB. The panel will examine how the industry can embrace low-carbon construction and innovative materials while maintaining uncompromised safety standards.
Speakers include Charlie Law FCIOB, founder and managing director of Sustainable Construction Solutions and sustainability director at Timber Development UK; Mark Harris, head of sustainability at Sika Roofing UK; Dr Monica Mateo-Garcia, associate professor in sustainable built environment at Birmingham City University; and Martin Milner, technical consultant at the Structural Timber Association and visiting professor at Edinburgh Napier University.
The event is sponsored by Careys.
