HSE appoints Building Safety Regulator lead

White has been leading the work to fully establish the BSR in HSE since taking over from Peter Baker in April 2023.

As HSE's DoBS, Philip will continue to perform the duties of the Chief Inspector of Buildings, working closely with BSR's statutory industry and resident committees to ensure both industry and residents are heard at the heart of the new regime.

His responsibilities include keeping the building safety programme on course to deliver against agreed timelines and milestones, including championing the need for culture change in industry and highlighting the need for collective responsibility to improve building safety.

The BSR will become fully operational next year.
