Role of accountable persons
This free digital building safety toolkit has been launched by the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) to support those legally responsible for more than 12,000 high-rise residential buildings across England.
Accountable and Principal Accountable Persons (APs/PAPs) are now central to the safety of England’s high-rise landscape, making it vital to stay ahead of the evolving building safety regime.
As the key duty holder under the Building Safety Act, PAPs must manage fire and structural safety for the entire building.
As well as their duties as an accountable person, PAPs must:
- register existing high-rise buildings with the Building Safety Regulator (BSR)
- register all new buildings and secure completion certificates before residents move in
An essential resource
This free digital toolkit provides an essential, centralised resource for building safety.
It has resources to help PAPs navigate their duties and uphold the highest building safety standards, including:
- on demand webinars and Q&As
- useful guides, case studies and tips
- essential building safety alerts
- remediation in existing buildings
- free training for resident-managed buildings
- official guidance for occupied buildings
- guides for high-rise residents
- Your Home, Your Safety resident campaign materials
Updates for PAPs and residents
We will update this building safety toolkit regularly to ensure it remains a practical resource for thousands of PAPs and residents across England.
Over the coming months, we will add more webinars, resources and links to new guidance to keep pace with the evolving building safety regime.
