Demonstrating robust competence management is critical under the Building Safety Act 2022 and the requirements of Part 2A of the Building Regulations, which place clear responsibilities on dutyholders and accountable persons to ensure that only competent individuals carry out safety-critical work.
By embedding structured competence pathways and verification, organisations can reduce risks arising from unclear roles, inconsistent skills, or incomplete documentation. This approach also helps to create and maintain a verifiable “Golden Thread” of evidence, providing assurance that workforce competence is aligned with statutory obligations.
Just as importantly, it educates both management and the wider workforce about their responsibilities under the new safety regime, ensuring that compliance is not only achieved but can be demonstrated transparently to regulators and stakeholders.
