Following a series of reports on building safety from Dame Judith Hackitt and the Industry Safety Steering Group ( ISSG ), the white paper uses the same
|
framework as the most recent ISSG report , and examines the roles of : Leadership and collaboration , Compliance and capacity building , and Responsibility and transparency when it comes to building safety .
Speaking on the launch of its latest paper , Eryl Jones , Managing Director of ASSA ABLOY Door Hardware Group , said :
“ In essence , more needs to be done to accelerate
|
culture change in the built environment industry , so we can move from a position of compliance to leadership in building safety . With an extensive supply chain involved in building projects and a wide-ranging number of groups , associations and authorities trying to tackle this issue , we felt it was our role to help provide advice and recommendations on what we believe are the best opportunities to help address |
this challenge , which is the reason for this white paper .”
With approval and endorsement from the GAI and DHF , the document highlights case studies where a lack of compliance and leadership led to tragic consequences and delves into how recommendations from the ISSG will help to avoid this in the future .
The paper which also sets out the benefits of regulatory and legislative changes , such as Whole Life Costings , Environmental Product Declarations and improved competency criteria , and argues strongly that in order for prescribed changes to have any impact , there must also be a change in mind set when it comes to building safety .
