Compliance to Confidence: Strengthening Organisational Capability under the Building Safety Act
The Building Safety Act marks a significant step in the evolution of building safety, placing greater emphasis on accountability, competence and demonstrating effective management of risk. More than 20 years ago, I experienced a similar transition while implementing the Seveso Directive for major hazard industries, where many operators questioned the value of another regulatory framework and asked, “Why is this necessary? What practical value will it bring?” Looking back, the organisations that gained the most were those that moved beyond compliance by strengthening four organisational capabilities: competence, management of change, organisational learning and effective safety management systems. This session explores why those capabilities mattered then, why they remain relevant today, and how they can strengthen organisational capability, resilience and confidence under the Building Safety Act.
