The Building Safety Alliance, a collaborative effort uniting industry figures, associations, and bodies, has announced the publication of two pivotal documents aimed at bolstering competence standards and fostering the recruitment of qualified professionals within the residential occupied sector.

The newly unveiled documents, BSAS 01:2024 Organizational Capability Management System Standard and Guidelines outlining competence expectations for stakeholders involved in specifying, procuring, and managing services for occupied high-rise and higher-risk residential buildings, serve as essential resources for organizations seeking to enhance competence within their building safety functions.

These initiatives align with the imperative of meeting the requirements set by the new building safety regime and its regulations pertaining to competence.

Upholding rigorous standards

The clients will demand tangible proof of competence management

In an evolving landscape where evidence of competence management, particularly organizational capability, is increasingly scrutinized, stakeholders across the sector must demonstrate their commitment to upholding rigorous standards. 

The clients will demand tangible proof of competence management, compelling organizations of all sizes and complexities within the supply chain to ensure the proficiency of their workforce, including contracted and subcontracted personnel.

Development of documents

The development of these documents is a testament to the dedication and expertise of industry professionals, who have tirelessly contributed to their creation.

Anthony Taylor, Building Safety Alliance, said: "The Alliance wish to thank all those who have given their valuable time and knowledge to developing common approaches to the requirements of the new regulatory regime. We would also extend our thanks to those representatives of BSR and DLUHC who acted as observers to the groups who have been developing these documents over many months."
