The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is reminding those responsible for the safety of high-rise residential buildings in England have six months from April to register with the new Building Safety Regulator by law.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has published the third edition of its free-to-order Fire safety in construction (https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/hsg168.htm) book, which includes an added focus on eliminating or reducing fire risks at the design stage.
