About the building safety team (BST)

The building safety team (BST) is at the forefront of ensuring the safety of our residents.

The building safety officers (BSOs) are tasked with implementing the Building Safety Act 2022, and play a critical role in ensuring the compliance of all our homes.

This commitment is reinforced by the findings and recommendations of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, which guide our efforts in preventing such a disaster from happening again.

Through diligent oversight and adherence to these enhanced safety protocols, the BST aims to protect residents and restore trust in building safety.

The role of our building safety officers (BSOs)

Our BSOs:

  • conduct frequent inspections to spot safety issues and help residents feel safe in their homes
  • attend resident events to make sure every resident is heard

The team also supports Tenant/Resident Management Organisations (TMO/RMOs) and council business areas to look at ways to:

  • encourage resident participation
  • build trust and transparency
