The Industry Competence Committee (ICC) for the built environment was formed under the Building Safety Act 2022 to provide strategic leadership, assistance and encouragement to facilitate the improvement of competence in the built environment industry. It advises both the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) and industry on matters of competence.

The ICC’s objectives are to:

• set clear expectations for industry on competence and what good looks like for individuals and organisations
• promote through a variety of communication channels advice relating to competence
• advise and assist industry in developing and maintaining competence pathways
• assist BSR both in improving the evidence base on industry competence and measuring industry progress
• support the building control profession and BSR by giving advice on matters relating to the competence of building control professionals

The Building Safety Act 2022 requires the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to operate an advisory committee with the following functions:

• monitoring competence in the built environment industry
• advising the regulator in relation to industry competence
• advising people in the built environment industry in relation to industry competence
• facilitating people in the built environment industry to improve industry competence
• providing guidance to the public (or a section of the public) about ways of assessing the competence of people in the built environment industry
• carrying out analysis and research in connection with a function mentioned in any of its functions
