The bigger picture...

Get ahead of the curve.

28/6/2019

 
Speaking at the Chartered Institute of Housing’s Housing 2019 conference on this week, the deputy director of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG) building safety programme, has advised landlords NOT to wait for the Government to legislate new fire safety regulations before implementing fire safety programmes.

The government has already published a consultation, which will run until July 31st,  on plans for implementing the Hackitt Review recommendations on fire safety and building regulations; commissioned in response to the Grenfell Tower disaster.

​Recommendations include the introduction of a regulator for building safety and the requirement to designate ‘dutyholders’ to assume responsibility for building safety.
Dutyholder?
​So who is currently responsible?
Dame Judith Hackitt has suggested her system should only apply to buildings above 30 metres. However, the government has proposed the regulations should also include buildings above 18 metres.

In a nutshell: Don't wait for new legislation to be responsible on fire safety!
