Following the tragic events of Grenfell, it became all too apparent that change was required with the construction industry. In August 2019, an interim report ‘Raising the Bar, was released by the Competence Steering Group (CSG), a cross industry body backed by Government, the Industry Safety Steering Group and Dame Judith Hackett.

In October 2020, the final report, Setting the Bar: a new competence regime for building a safer future, was released. This document provides a blueprint to improve competence for those working on higher-risk buildings while driving culture change. It was produced by a cross-industry group representing more than 150 organisations in the fire and built environment industries.

= Competency standard =

To create Setting the Bar, the CSG and its working groups collected feedback to develop sector and competence frameworks. Both frameworks provide the skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours needed to carry out specific roles and deliver a more rigorous approach to the essential training and assessment that is required.

The proposed system of competence in the report is made up of four key elements:

# A new competence committee sitting within the Building Safety Regulator.
# A national suite of competence standards – including new sector-specific frameworks developed by 12 working groups.
# Arrangements for independent assessment and reassessment against the competence standards.
# A mechanism to ensure that those assessing and certifying people against the standards have appropriate levels of oversight.

The CSG is recommending that all individuals whose work on higher-risk buildings is likely to materially affect safety outcomes, or who work unsupervised on these buildings, should meet the skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours set out in the competence frameworks developed by the industry. Some of the Report’s key recommendations have already been adopted.

Setting the Bar also presents the competence requirements for the new role of Building Safety Manager. Under legislation in the draft Building Safety Bill published in July 2020, the Accountable Person (those deemed responsible in law for the safety of higher-risk buildings) will be required to appoint a Building Safety Manager who will look after the day-to-day management of fire and structural safety and establish a clear point of contact for residents for fire and safety related issues.

An in depth examination of the Building Safety Manager is presented in a separate report, Safer people, safer homes: Building Safety Management. The report calls for the Building Safety Manager role to retain the wider ‘holistic whole building’ obligations for occupiers’ safety and health, including public health considerations as well as those for fire and structural safety.

The skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours outlined in the report will be used by the British Standards Institute to develop a national standard Building Safety Managers will be expected to meet.
