HSE said: “Building on the safety case principles we published last year, we have continued our work with partners in the public and private sector to develop information that we hope will form a toolkit for building owners and managers.
The first part of this toolkit is a short summary of the key things they can do to prepare. It’s intended to be a quick read to help people and organisations to understand what they can do.
HSE has now published this headline document on its website, available via the link below.
That document says: “If you own or manage an occupied high-rise residential building (HRB), the proposed building safety framework introduces a new set of roles and responsibilities. You’ll have to collect detailed, accurate information when you prepare a safety case report and register your building.”
In the coming months this will be followed by further information that builds on the safety case principles from last year.
Tim Galloway, deputy director of the building safety programme at HSE, encouraged organisations and people to start preparing: “We all want safe buildings and I would encourage building owners to start their preparations for the new regime now rather than wait for all the details to be developed.”
