Are you prepared for the upcoming changes to the way you manage hazards?
With upcoming updates to Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) and Decent Homes, as well as the enhanced requirements of Awaab’s Law on the horizon, it is crucial that landlords take steps today to prepare for these changes. Understanding the changes is essential to maintain compliance and stay ahead of the curve.
The updates aim to enhance current requirements, ensuring landlords address hazards like damp and mould comprehensively and promptly to keep tenants safe and provide high-quality homes. As part of the amendments, HHSRS will be simplified and modernised to make identifying, recording, and managing hazards more straightforward. This represents a significant and proactive step towards better hazard management and ensuring all homes meet decent living standards.
This webinar will provide expert insight into the best practices developed by organisations managing HHSRS hazards, including damp and mould. Our experts discuss the most commonly identified hazards beyond damp and mould, including how organisations are managing their approaches to surveys, remediation, and data management. Additionally, we explore the proactive steps organisations are taking today in preparation for the impending changes, ensuring their services are robust, auditable, and effective.
From this webinar, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of:
- The operational and strategic impact of the impending changes on housing providers
- Lessons learnt from working with organisations to prepare for the implementation of Awaab’s Law
- The most common HHSRS hazards and best practice approaches
- Our experiences from damp and mould surveys, including key initiatives organisations are putting in place
