‘The future of competence’ is the theme of Certass chair Jon Vanstone’s seminar at the FIT Show
He will discuss the future competence landscape within the construction industry and the impact it will have on the glazing sector in the light of the new Building Safety Bill and the introduction of the Building Safety Regulator.
“Big changes lie ahead for our sector,” he explained, “As well as new regulations that come into force on 15 June, we are faced with the impact of the Building Safety Regulator which will be run by the Health and Safety Executive.
“By understanding these changes and preparing ourselves for them as a sector, we can make compliance easier for everyone, so we can work together to design, build and maintain buildings in a safer way. But we need a clear understanding of why these measures are being implemented and what our industry needs to do now to avoid pain later on.”
The ‘Future of Competence’ seminar will be held on Wednesday 10 May at 11.10am in the FIT Seminar Theatre.
Jon is the founding chair for HSE’s Interim Industry Competence Committee, Chair of Certass, Director of the National Home Improvement Council, member of DLUHC’s Building Regulations Advisory Committee and Chair of its sub-committee, the Competent Persons Forum.
