Free training for letting agents

I've had a couple of calls to day from HRB clients today about what documents should they upload when called forward and applying for their Building Assessment Certificate, above the 3 mandated ones...... The BSR was very clear at the conference yesterday that they only want you to upload the following reports: 1. The Safety Case Report, summarising your Safety Case. 2. Mandatory Occurrence Reporting System. 3. Resident Engagement Strategy. If you feel that you need to upload additional documents to support your case for safety, then you can. But, only documents that are essential to your safety argument, so keep it to only a few, if you need to at all.

🛑 Tactical Tuesday Alert: A Proactive Safety Win 🛑 This week on #TacticalTuesday, we're spotlighting a remarkable "Good Catch" that emphasizes the power of proactive safety measures and the incredible value of situational awareness. Amidst the rush of a storm-induced operation to replace a backyard transformer, a diligent crew encountered a potentially hazardous situation. During their thorough pre-job tailboard meeting, a compromised piece of neutral wire caught their attention. Although it seemed unrelated to their task, their safety-first approach led them to not just secure the wire but also repair it before energizing the line. Their timely intervention revealed a critical lesson: a tie wire broke and got wedged underneath the clevis, causing damage to the wire. This situation, had it gone unnoticed, could have led to significant risks including injury, illness, or property damage. 🔍 Key Takeaways for Future Safety: ⚡ Always be aware of your surroundings and the condition of equipment. ⚡ Prioritize preventive maintenance and safety over speed or convenience. ⚡ Maintain open communication within the team to address potential hazards promptly. ⚡ Continual training and education on safety best practices are essential. This incident is a powerful reminder of the importance of vigilance and preventive action in maintaining a safe working environment. Let's take this opportunity to reflect on our own practices and consider how we can incorporate these lessons into our daily operations. 💡 We’d love to hear from you: Have you experienced a similar "Good Catch" that reinforced the importance of situational awareness and proactive safety measures? Share your stories in the comments below to foster a community of learning and safety excellence.
