kbb national training group/napit seminars
In a joint venture with NAPIT (National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers) the KBB National Training Group successfully delivered the first of several seminars regarding changes to the building regulations. These seminars have been arranged in partnership with NAPIT who have been working closely with the ODPM's office (now known as the Department for Communities and Local Government) to try and make sense of the new building regulations and how they will impact on the KBB sector.
The new regulations become law at the end of April 2006 and affect both designers and installers. The changes include amendments to parts;
F - Ventilation
L - Conservation of Fuel and Power
P - Electrical Safety
G - Hygiene
H - Drainage and Waste Disposal
J - Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems
The seminar was attended by delegates from both the Bathroom and Kitchen industry and was well received. Ken Bromley, representing the DCLG was on hand to answer questions.
The National Training Group are very keen to work with the DCLG in the hope of keeping up with current regulation changes, thus attempting to avoid the confusion created over 'Part P'.
It is important to know how these changes affect your business. The seminars are free of charge and given that they are already law, it would be advisable to come along to one of them to hear in detail, what steps you need to take to be sure you comply with the current regulations.
Further seminars are to be held nationwide in September and information about venues and times will be posted on our message board as soon as they have been arranged.
