Health & Safety Forum August

26 Aug 2026 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

Our Health & Safety Forums are a valuable opportunity where members receive support and advice from ACS and EVH, whilst networking with other EVH members.  Join us for our next quarterly, Health & Safety Forum covering Gas & Electrical Safety in Housing: Compliance, Responsibilities and Best Practice on Wednesday 26 August 2026.

Risk Assessments are not only a legal requirement for employers to complete but are a vital tool in preventing accident at work, reducing injuries, generate awareness of hazards and help managers make decisions on risk and adjustments required.

FORUM CONTENT

  • An overview of the legal requirements for electrical safety responsibilities in Scotland.
  • Understanding the SHR expectations for gas and electrical safety compliance.
  • Gas and Electrical safety responsibilities for housing associations as landlords.
  • Common risks and compliance challenges identified across the housing sector.
  • Practical guidance on inspections, testing, documentation, and ongoing management.

The session will be led by Emma Willey, ACS Learning & Consultancy, and Graeme Ferguson, CORGI Technical Services and is for any staff or management with responsibility for landlord health and safety.  Governing Body Members are also welcome to attend this session if there are available spaces.

The forum is free and will be held in Betty’s Room, 5th Floor, 137 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3EW.  Registration and networking will start at 9.15am, and tea and coffee will be available.  The session will commence at 9.30am and conclude at 12.30pm.
