Event description:

In our next webinar, we zero in on the topic of accountability within the Golden Thread. The principle of Accountable Persons and Dutyholders was a key component of Dame Hackett’s recommended Golden Thread. And while everyone welcomes the intention of ensuring safer buildings for all, the duty of care can weigh heavily on individuals and cause some anxiety. 

Along with our highly experienced guest speakers, we take a look at how that responsibility can be managed to ensure that critical safety standards are upheld without placing unreasonable pressure on individuals.

Hosted by:

Webinar panelists:

Anthony Taylor

Resolve Risk Ltd

Interim Chair Building Safety Alliance, Chair of CSG Working Group 8, Industry Lead for PAS 8673, and member Steering Group for PAS 8671 and PAS 8672. Member of BSI Committee for Standards in Built Environment CBP/1, Chair of RICS Health and Safety Advisory Group, Member of H&S Committee for The Property Institute (TPI), The Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM) and the Association for Project Safety (APS).

Chair of Greenwich University's Built Environment Industry Liaison Group 

Anthony has long promoted the concept of integrated management systems, including GRC, sustainability, energy conservation, and BCM, HS&E, governance and ‘compliance’, with operational risk and liability management remaining ‘in the field’ with support from a panel of experts at centre.

Effective risk management requires the ability to quantify the exposure - to manage we need to measure, and organisations need to employ metrics that are accepted and understood by those in operational control of the business.
