What will you learn?
Collaborative Reporting for Safer Structures UK (CROSS-UK) is a confidential reporting system which allows professionals working in the built environment to report on fire and structural safety issues. They provide reports, case-histories and information on fire safety or structural safety issues on concrete, steel, masonry and timber structures. The reporting is published anonymously to facilitate the sharing of lessons learned, create positive change, and improve safety.
This webinar will provide attendees with an insight into the vital safety role that CROSS plays in the built environment. You will discover the benefits of signing up to the email reports and alerts and will learn how to contribute to this industry wide safety resource.
Who should join?
This webinar is designed for engineers, inspectors, managers, supervisors, and designers working/associated with the built environment industry.
Don't miss this opportunity to upskill, ask questions and gain clarity on an essential aspect of your role.
