CULTURE CHANGE IN CONSTRUCTION: LEADING BUILDING SAFETY

UK Construction Week, The Building a Safer Future Charter (BSF Charter), and the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) are delighted to announce a high-level one-day Conference to share the learnings of BSF champions that are engendering a positive culture and behavioural change in building safety.
This year’s conference will focus on showcasing and sharing learning and best practice from companies at the forefront of driving culture change in their organisations through the BSF Champions programme.  
Keynote speakers and practical sessions will also provide latest thinking, insights and proven practical tools to help delegates focus on how they can improve and shift culture in relation to building safety in their own organisation.
