BESA launches vent hygiene competence toolkit
T
he Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) has launched the second in its planned series
of practical guides to help the building services industry demonstrate its technical competence and ability to comply with increasingly stringent building safety legislation and standards. These free to download ‘toolkits’
provide practical support to individuals and organisations so they can better understand, evidence, and apply the principles of Skills, Knowledge, Experience and Behaviours (SKEB) in practice. The construction industry’s collective competence failure was identified as
a critical contributor to the Grenfell Tower fire and national skills frameworks are now being developed in response to a key recommendation of the Hackitt Review which followed the disaster. However, BESA’s Demonstrating SKEB guides are being developed to
provide immediate support to firms and engineers whose clients need to see evidence of competence and compliance with the Building Safety Act and existing industry standards. The first free guide was produced for installers of industrial and commercial ductwork, and the second one is designed for the industrial and commercial ventilation hygiene sector. It provides a template of ‘what good looks like’ both on an individual and organisational level and offers practical steps towards developing and proving competence. It also explains how to turn experience and knowledge into useful evidence to help secure work. The Ventilation Hygiene SKEB toolkit can be downloaded free of charge at

Thought leader to headline BESA Conference
D
igital construction guru May Winfield and Build UK CEO Suzannah Nichol OBE will deliver keynote presentations at the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) Annual Conference on October 16.
This year’s one-day event at the Brewery in London will focus heavily on business growth with sessions aimed at helping building engineering firms identify new markets and opportunities, as well as achieving more through innovation and workforce development. There will be two distinct strands: Theatre One will be focused on the day-
to-day business of running a building engineering firm and Theatre Two will concentrate on how firms can ensure their employees are equipped with the skills they need to meet current and future challenges. Winfield’s morning keynote “Implementing AI: Will You Get Sued?” will
challenge delegates to look at how Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we work but also consider the risks in areas like contract liability and data responsibility. A leading construction lawyer with almost two decades of industry
experience, she will explore the implications of integrating AI and explain what firms must do to protect themselves and their projects.
