Health and Safety Executive responds to introduction of Building Safety Bill

Article summary

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has welcomed the introduction of the Building Safety Bill in the House of Commons. The Bill aims to implement recommendations set out in the ‘Building a Safer Future’ report, which provided an independent review of building regulations and fire safety in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire. The report outlined the need for significant cultural and regulatory change and paves the way for the creation of an independent Building Safety Regulator.
