The Act introduces the concepts of the ‘Principal Accountable Person ’and 'Accountable Person', legally designated individuals or organisations that hold primary responsibility for ensuring building safety during the occupancy phase of a building’s lifecycle. Their responsibilities encompass mitigating potential safety risks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and managing the Safety Case and Safety Case Report for the relevant building.References
