FREE Information Seminar for Facilities Managers

The Victorian OH&S Regulations 2007 introduced a number of significant changes into the requirements associated with managing buildings. In September 2008 a number of Compliance Codes were released covering the:

  • Management of Asbestos
  • Removal of Asbestos
  • Confined Spaces
  • First Aid in the Workplace
  • Workplace Amenities and the Work Environment

These Compliance Codes nominate systems or requirements for buildings and specify work areas, temperatures, workspace, asbestos registers, indoor air quality and lighting standards, confined space procedures, signage and fall control strategies. These have enormous ramifications for building owners, facility managers, contractors and building maintenance workers.

This seminar will be conducted by HAZCON’s Managing Director, Mr. Peter Attwood and will outline some simple management processes which should be in place within every building.

This seminar will provide you with free information and advice and will provide a great networking opportunity with other Facilities Managers in your area.
