  • Remediation action plan: BSR update NEW

    HSE is setting up a new Remediation Enforcement Unit within BSR to quickly assess the cladding risk for those buildings registered with us.


    This is part of the remediation action plan as announced by the Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner MP. 


    The Remediation Enforcement Unit will hold to account owners of registered higher-risk buildings (HRBs) clad with combustible aluminium composite material (ACM) and high-pressure laminate (HPL), enforcing where necessary, to ensure the remediation of unsafe cladding on HRBs. 
    We expect the unit to be up and running by Summer 2025.
