Introduction 

In the evolving landscape of building safety, the concept of the Golden Thread has gained increasing importance. But does anyone truly have a Golden Thread? This session aims to unravel the complexities surrounding the Golden Thread of building safety, clarifying what it is, why it’s essential, and how it can be effectively implemented. 

What we will cover: 

• A clear understanding of what the Golden Thread is and why it’s a cornerstone of building safety. 

• Practical insights into what data and information should be included in the Golden Thread. 

• Actionable steps for creating and maintaining a Golden Thread, ensuring the safety, compliance, and longevity of your buildings. 

• How a well-maintained Golden Thread can enhance communication, improve safety management, and reduce risks in day-to-day operations.
