A VITAL CPD TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR BUILDING CERTIFIERS AND BUILDING
INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS Background - Safer buildings for Queensland All
Queenslanders have the right to feel safe and secure in the
environments where they live, work and play. The Queensland Government
has taken action to address the use of combustible cladding in
Queensland buildings. Accordingly, changes to the Building Regulation
2006, introduced in October 2018, cover existing buildings, those
currently approved and about to commence, or those buildings that are
presently under construction. The Non-Conforming Building Products
Audit Taskforce was formed develop these strong regulatory
requirements and has been responsible for evaluating the extent of
potentially combustible cladding on government and privately-owned
buildings in Queensland. Using a risk-based management approach, the
Safer Buildings website was developed as a self-assessment tool to
help private building owners identify any buildings that could be at
risk of having potentially dangerous products installed. Included in
this process is a requirement for owners to engage building certifiers
and other building industry professionals at certain points, should
their building be identified as potentially having combustible
cladding. The taskforce has also taken on the role of skilling up
building certifiers and building industry professionals through
providing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses to
encourage industry best practice and specialist knowledge. Continuing
professional development course This two-day CPD course has been
developed to provide building certifiers and other industry
professionals with the specialist knowledge to understand the key
principles regarding building fire safety strategy, façade design and
the interactions between a façade and the building in the event of a
fire involving the external wall of a building. In addition, the
course will give practitioners a full understanding of the application
of the National Construction Code (NCC) and Queensland Building
Regulation 2006 cladding requirements. Course duration Day 1
