Engineering Council - Higher-Risk Buildings (HRB)

Engineering Council has developed the HRB registration process covering varied disciplines to provide clients, residents, employers, and regulators with a higher degree of confidence that engineers are competent to work on Higher Risk Buildings. Engineering Council holds a publicly accessible register of registrants assessed as competent to work on HRB.

To become registered, CABE members will need to demonstrate competence against the requirements set out in UK-SPEC for HRB, which has been developed to set clear standards of competence for work on Higher Risk Buildings. It incorporates British Standards Institution, Built environment – Core Criteria for building safety in competence frameworks – Code of practice (BSI Flex 8670), which sets out core building safety competence criteria, including fire safety, structural safety and public health.
