A consultation on the publicly available specification (PAS) for the competence of principal contractors has launched.
PAS 8672 sets out a framework for competence of individual principal contractors and designated individuals working under organisational principal contractors.
The proposed framework comes amid a series of changes to the building safety regime accompanying the Building Safety Bill, which was put forward by the government in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster.
The PAS specifies the competence and commitment of principal contractors working on all buildings – not just higher-risk residential buildings (HRRBs) – to plan, manage and monitor building work to ensure compliance with Building Regulations, among a host of other commitments relating to keeping buildings safe for end users.
