Building Safety Regulator Seeks Members to Join Industry Competence Committee

THE BUILDING SAFETY REGULATOR (BSR) is looking for a chair and members to join its Industry Competence Committee (ICC).

The Building Safety Act 2022 established the BSR in England with a responsibility to facilitate improvement in the competence of industry and building inspectors. To do this, the Act enabled the BSR to establish an Industry Competence Committee (ICC). The Committee’s functions include:

• monitoring industry competence,
• advising the BSR and industry,
• helping industry to improve competence,
• and producing guidance to the public about assessing the competence of people in the built environment industry.

Industry Competence Committee

The BSR says it is now looking for a chair and members with the proven leadership to join the committee.

ICC members will be required to:

• Attend and actively contribute to 6 main committee meetings a year (combining in-person and virtual). Approximately 2-3hrs duration (1-2hrs should also be set aside to read papers).
• Participate in committee work that extends beyond main committee meetings including workshops and the work of technical working groups. Approximately 8 hrs per month. (Technical working groups will include additional members in specialist fields who will share the workload).
• Use your personal industry experience and up to date knowledge to improve competence in the built environment.
• Provide advice and assistance to the ICC on basis of the wider public interest without personal, business or sectoral gain.
• Follow the standards of behaviour in public life (the ‘Nolan Principles’).

The deadline for applications is Friday 28th April 2023. More information can be found here.
