NFRC Chief Executive James Talman commented in response to the Building Safety Bill:
“We welcome and fully support the introduction of the Building Safety Bill. We are particularly pleased to see the emphasis placed by the government on the competency of both organisations and individuals working on high-risk buildings and are already leading the way in this area for the roofing industry with our RoofCERT programme.”
He added
“Now that the government have clearly outlined their intentions in this bill, the industry must start planning and preparing for these changes. We were one of the first specialist trade associations to sign up to the Building A Safer Future Charter, which aims to drive up standards, change culture and behaviours and raise the bar across the construction industry, and we urge roofing and cladding contractors to do the same”
