[Gary Walpole @garywalpole]

We are in the midsts of a heatwave this week; when working on roofs in hot weather make sure you follow these steps to stay safe:
Reschedule work to cooler times of the day;
Provide more frequent rest breaks and introduce shading to rest areas;
#staysafeinthesun @TheNFRC

[Gary Walpole @garywalpole]

Provide free access to cool drinking water;
If possible, introduce shading where individuals are working; Encourage the removal of PPE when taking breaks to aid heat loss; and
Educate workers about recognising the early symptoms of heat stress.

In this podcast we interview Prof. Patrick James, Prof. of Energy & Buildings at the @unisouthampton, on his new report commissioned by the NFRC Charitable Trust, "Future (P)roof—Building resilience of roofing technologies in a changing climate".

[NFRC @TheNFRC]

The @unisouthampton has undertaken new research for NFRC, taking future climate projections & applying them to different roof types in 15 cities across the UK.

The two biggest risks they identified was overheating & torrential rain.

Pleased to have worked with Professor Patrick James and his team at Southampton and @garywalpole on this important research. It shows that overheating is going to be a real issue for certain building types such as flats and loft/dormer conversions /1

[Jon Vanstone 💙 @Jon_Vanstone]

Too much poor installation work is happening by supposedly qualified workers ... we need to review all aspects of how we deem someone to be competent #CompetenceReview

Industry needs to step up at this critical time … #buildingsafetyregulator
