From Hywel’s article in the CIBSE Journal ‘Time to act on safety‘.

The Building Safety Act, which became law more than six months ago, is the most fundamental reform of the regulation of building work in England and Wales since World War II.

It establishes the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), with a statutory duty to exercise its powers to ‘[secure] the safety of people in or about buildings in relation to risks arising from buildings, and [improve] the standard of buildings’.

It also allows competence requirements to be imposed in relation to ‘any building work’ regulated by the Building Act.
