Holly Watson’s key takeaways from Pagabo’s Building Safety Act Webinar: how to stay compliant

Holly Watson, our Director of Building Safety and Assurance, participated in Pagabo’s webinar on the Building Safety Act to help support clients to stay compliant. Take a look below to find out the key takeaways from the webinar.

Where is the biggest compliance risk?

The overarching risk is a lack of robust processes – especially when checking competency during onboarding or appointing partners. Taking the time to put the right processes in place protects your business long-term, even if it feels like it slows down initial progress.

What does good ownership look like?

True ownership requires accountability, control, and process. Statutory duties cannot be passed on or ignored. Accountable Persons must want to be actively involved in decision-making and take full responsibility for the building.

Demystifying the Golden Thread

At its core, the golden thread is simply building information that should have been there all along. Following the process at each stage ensures all necessary data is ready for every gateway, making sure vital structural information isn’t forgotten during the design phase.

Safety case reporting

Effective risk control requires a holistic point of view. It’s about knowing your gaps, understanding your building thoroughly, and having clear, actionable plans in place to fix any risks.
