Buildings: Safety
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of the proposed role of Building Safety Manager.
- Answer
-
The Building Safety Manager, who can be an organisation or individual, will play a key role in assisting and helping to ensuring that Accountable Persons meet their obligations. Building Safety Managers must be competent to support in the day-to-day management of fire and structural safety in the building.
To ensure a robust and consistent approach to assuring competence, we are sponsoring the British Standards Institution to create a suite of national competence standards for higher risk buildings. This will include the competence framework for the Building Safety Manager and other key roles.
