The Accidental Compliance Manager
A plain-English guide to keeping buildings safe, legal and properly evidenced.
Chris Wilkinson
Compliance is a management system, not a collection of green boxes.
The book develops a practical way to manage building compliance across an operational estate: identify the duties and assets, assign ownership, obtain competent evidence, review what the evidence actually says, control remedial actions and report an honest position to management.
It covers the principal compliance areas commonly encountered by estates and facilities teams while keeping the emphasis on assurance, evidence and the ability to demonstrate that important risks are genuinely under control.
Particularly useful for
- Building / Facilities / Estates Management
- Construction Management
- Building Surveying
- Health, Safety & Compliance
- Property and Asset Management
- Professional practice and degree apprenticeships
