SUMMARY:New construction health & safety regulations: are you ready?
DESCRIPTION:On 6 April 2015\, the long awaited Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 came into force\, bringing into effect changes in the crucial area of health and safety in construction projects. Ensuring that you are ready for these new regulations is therefore fundamental. \nThis informative discussion will examine the increased scope of the new regulations and whether the new roles are simply a re-labelling of the old or whether the new regime will see a fundamental shift in methodology necessitating a change to your underlying approach to managing projects going forward. Our health and safety specialist will also look at the enforcement ramifications of failing to comply with these new duties\, and the potential issues posed by the regulations in terms of future criminal proceedings against the various dutyholders. \n  \nYour Speakers: Rachel Chaplin\, Professional Support Lawyer – Construction and Rod Hunt\, Partner – Health & Safety from Clyde & Co \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Big Cities & Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Your speaker:  David Rudlin\, URBED \nFor the first time in years housing has been an election issue – we need to be building around 250\,000 new homes every year and are falling short by around 100\,000. For some towns this is a huge problem as they struggle to find additional land for housing in the face of local opposition. Others\, especially the large cities\, see it an opportunity to grow their economy and population. \nSince with winning the Wolfson Economics prize last year David Rudlin of URBED has been working with Sheffield council to explore the implications of housing growth to create an more successful\, sustainable conurbation. He will describe this work and the implications for other cities. \nSign up for your free place:  http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/big-cities-sustainability-tickets-17051973913 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Improving efficiencies in winning work – PQQs & ITTs
