Hello and welcome to the July issue of Tomorrow’s FM.
Health and safety remains a critically important area for facilities managers to keep on top of because they are responsible for ensuring that buildings and workplaces are safe, compliant, and conducive to employee wellbeing. By identifying risks, implementing preventative measures, and adhering to relevant regulations, FMs protect both people and property, ensuring the overall success of the organisation. Legislative changes come thick and fast in across the health and safety sector, and it can often be challenging to keep up with it all. That’s where Tomorrow’s FM, and its range of experts, come in.

It's always a popular subject in these pages, and this issue is no different. We’ve covered everything from working at height to head protection and the environmental toll of PPE. On page 24, Francis Camilleri, Technical Director at T.B. Davies and Chair of the Ladder Association Technical Committee, looks at why low-level falls are among the most common causes of workplace injury, yet remain poorly understood due to inconsistent reporting. He explores the dangers of underestimating these incidents and argues that better data collection is essential for making work at height safer. Tomorrow’s FM also caught up with Maria Campos, Ansell’s Head of Sustainable Product and Innovation, and Nalise Hahn, an independent sustainability consultant, to understand emissions throughout the PPE product lifecycle.
Meanwhile, TORK and ECAT head up our Food & Drink feature, whilst our Social Housing and Community Facilities section has some key insights from MSL Solutions Provider, on how facilities managers can ensure compliance with Awaab’s Law through regular cleaning audits. This spotlight also features property services company Ian Williams, who take a look at the latest trends in the world of commercial painting.
Enjoy the read.
