On Demand 60 minute Water Webinar
Water safety in buildings applies to the delivery of safe drinking water, and In-Premise Water Safety Plans are the most effective means of consistently ensuring the safety of drinking water at the point-of-use. One of the first, and most critical steps in developing a Water Safety Plan is to recruit and develop the best available, cross-functional talent for the Water Team. Drawing from National and International Guidance and Recommendations, this webinar uses relevant examples and case studies to focus on the following key steps regarding
- assembling the team, recruiting the best available and relevant talent, understanding the team roles and responsibilities
- legal aspects of the Water Safety Team
- use of third parties for aspects of water management; accreditation of third parties
- training and education to develop in-house expertise
- team meet structure, agenda and meeting frequencies
- what to document, how to maintain records, recognise when to act
- understanding costs of water system management and budget alignment
