Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022 will amend the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to ensure that fire risk assessors must be competent.
Article 9(A) provides some clarity on competence, more specifically it imposes a requirement on the responsible person to ensure that they do not appoint a person to assist them with undertaking or reviewing an assessment under article 9 unless the person is competent.
The new amendment goes on to state that a person is to be regarded as competent for the purposes of this article where the person has sufficient training and experience or knowledge and other qualities to enable the person properly to assist in making or reviewing the assessment.
The final amendment under article 9(A) stipulates that where the responsible person appoints more than one person, the responsible person must make arrangements for ensuring adequate co-operation between them.
This webinar will explore how organisations can ensure the person they appoint to undertake their fire risk assessments are competent and how Enforcement Officers will assess compliance in line with the competence framework.
