Building and Designing for Security and Continuity

Courses Background:

• This BRAND NEW 1 DAY TOPICAL COURSE will provide an overview of the considerations needed to develop and build continuity and resilience.

• Protecting organisations is a key priority and this course will provide expertise from a variety of resources that will enable organisations to weather the storm.

• Risk has become a hot topic for business in the 21st Century. The challenge for organisations is to create continuity and build resilience. The impact of disruptions to organisations in our communities can be significantly reduced through proper education, preparation and planning.

• Whether it is the flooding of 2007, the terrorist attacks of 7/7, or a host of other more mundane risks, the ability to reduce the impact exists, and needs to be built into our industry’s thinking.

• Business Continuity Management is recognised as a key tool in delivering resilience and significantly lowering risk. Developments in the legislation and standards areas are increasingly affecting businesses of all types. BCM is now the key tool in managing organisational risk. Continuity Forum research shows effective procedures can reduce losses by up to 90% and in many cases avoid incidents entirely.

• Embedding Business Continuity is more than just having a plan - it is about designing for resilience. Recognising critical vulnerabilities and adapting your current practices is a key opportunity to mitigate the risk and increase the resilience of organisations in our communities.

Do you know your CDM Regulations?

03/09/2010 10:48:31
The British Property Federation and the Construction Clients' Group issued a report in July 2010 revealing that two thirds of companies commissioning construction services have no knowledge whatsoever of the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations. These regulations - commonly referred to as the CDM Regs and updated in 2007 - apply to almost all construction projects undertaken in the UK.

They were introduced in an effort to improve the management and co-ordination of health and safety and welfare issues in construction projects, and to reduce accidents and cases of ill health in the construction industry.

The recent figures are cause for significant concern. A person or company commissioning works are responsible for them even though they may not handle the works themselves. They cannot delegate this responsibility as was once the case. This means that a person or company with no experience in construction can be held responsible for accidents during building works, and hit with jail terms or unlimited fines, in both civil and criminal actions.

If you are aware that your team are falling short in their knowledge of the CDM regulations, please take a look at our courses designed specifically to increase awareness in the CDM Regulations for construction professionals. ‘Working with CDM 2007’ is a one day general update course designed for those new to construction or CDM, or for those who want to update and refresh their knowledge on the CDM Regs. ‘CDM for Designers’ is our brand new one day course intended to clarify the important role of ‘designers’ and ‘specifiers’ under the CDM regulations. ‘Becoming a CDM Co-ordinator under CDM 2007’ is a three day course specifically for those with professional and managerial experience to aid their understanding of the CDM Co-ordinator Role. For more details please see the course programmes listed on our site or call 0845 3133 414 for more information.
