Stephen Adams, Chief Executive of BAFE, comments, “The importance of this reform is paramount, especially when it comes to fire safety. The industry recovery plan outlines professionalism and partnerships, upskilling the workforce, and developing proposals for raising competence levels."

He adds, "We support the document, adding the construction and fire safety industries should be far more collaborative to establish a safe building, with any unnecessary risk acknowledged and mitigated in earlier stages and throughout the building process.”
