The British Standards Institution (BSI) will be running a free online webinar for engineers and personnel associated with/working in every aspect of design, build and management of residential buildings, including higher risk residential buildings (HRRBs), on the 24 September, 2020.

The Competence Steering Group (CSG) was formed following Dame Judith Hackitt’s ‘Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety’ with the aim of taking forward its recommendations for safety improvement. The CSG published the interim report, ‘Raising the Bar’ in August 2019, with over 150 Institutions and 300 professionals contributing to the report.

The webinar will look at one of the recommendations from this report, creating a national standard suite of standards and supporting documents.

Leading the development of this suite of standards, BSI will deliver the webinar and launch the first consultation of the new standard, ‘Built Environment – Overarching Competence Framework - Specification.’
