AUDIO NEWS: Maintenance professionals struggle to stay compliant and plumber nicks ex-girlfriend's toilet
Posted: Wednesday, April 24th, 2024
Over two thirds of maintenance professionals say that ‘staying compliant’ is their biggest problem – that’s according to a survey by SFG20. Alarmingly, 100% of those surveyed said they were unsure how prepared they were to comply with the Building Safety Act and its ‘golden thread’ requirements. Golden thread regulations call for a digital record to be kept of all critical building information from the design phase and throughout a building’s lifespan. Paul Bullard, product director at SFG20 said: "Understanding your statutory responsibilities as a facility manager and consequences of non-compliance is imperative.” --- Former Gogglebox personality and electrician George Gilbey died from traumatic head and torso injuries after falling from height at work, an inquest has heard. 40-year-old Gilbey had been working on a warehouse roof when he fell through a plastic skylight to the ground below. He was pronounced dead at the scene. In March, a man was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the incident. --- A plumber stole his girlfriend’s toilet after their breakup. According to a post on Reddit, the woman dumped her boyfriend because he didn’t pay his way and refused to tip service staff – both traits she didn’t admire in a long-term partner. When he was packing up his stuff, and moving out, he also took her toilet. --- To listen to the construction news, please click below
