2 Introduction The Working Well Together (WWT) Anglia Group is inviting you to a Designer Awareness Day. WWT is an industry led partnership that aims to improve health and safety standards within the construction industry. The goal is to help achieve a meaningful and sustained reduction in injury and ill health within the construction industry. Designers have a crucial role to play in improving the health and safety performance of the construction industry. WWT Designer Awareness Days help people with design responsibilities understand how to address, mitigate or eliminate risks during the design phase and in doing so, meet the standards expected of them. The event is supported by professional institutions in the construction industry and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The event will give valuable information on how your design can help prevent occupational disease to construction workers. Certificates will be issued at the end of the seminar. About the Speaker Philip Baker is a designer by training and has been heavily involved in CDM since Philip has worked on a wide range of projects as PS/CDM-C/PD and has advised the full range of duty holders on how they can discharge their duties effectively. Philip is a past president of the Association for Project Safety, a Certified Fellow and the current Chair of the APS London Regional Committee.

4 How to find us How to get to Landmark House Landmark House is located in the north-west of Ipswich, and is accessible by several methods of transport. When you arrive, please report to the reception centre. Walking and cycling Due to it s location on the edge of town, walking to Landmark House from the town centre or the railway station takes around an hour. However, the journey by bike is only around 20 minutes, and there is covered cycle parking for visitors, with stands to lock your bike to. If you are cycling from the railway station, some parts of the route are off-road. You can view a detailed cycle map of Ipswich here. By public transport Landmark House is on the route of the 13 and 8 service run by Ipswich Buses, with a stop around 100m from the building. The route serves the Ranelagh Road stop at the railway station, providing a direct link for people arriving in Ipswich by train. It also stops at the Tower Ramparts bus station in the town centre. Timetables for the 13 and 8 can be found on the Ipswich Buses website. Please note that the number on the front of the bus changes from 13 to 8 at Tower Ramparts, meaning you need to catch a 13 bus at the railway station, but an 8 if you are getting on at Tower Ramparts. The services run with a 12 minute frequency during the working day. By car or motorcycle Landmark House is close to junction 53 on the A14. After turning onto the A1156 you can travel via Goddard Road or Goddard Road East and Whitehouse Road. There is a small car park for visitors at the front of the building, which includes reserved spaces for disabled visitors, as well as an area for motorcycles and mopeds. If the visitor car park is full, there is on-street parking in the vicinity.
