You would think thal aller all the investment Ihey have been subject lo. we could have some rest from the relentless efforts and costs that go into ensuring our buildings are safe for service users, staff and visitors alike. If only this was the ease. Our service users, needs eonlinually change and new aids and adaplalions are required and evar evolving Health and Safety ¥equiTemenls and recommetKlalions result in significant demands on manag8menl resources lo keep on lop ol all the services iequiremenls.
