Under the Building Safety Act 2022, which statement best describes a dutyholder?

Dutyholders in the Building Safety Act 2022 are the people who hold formal responsibilities for building safety across the project. This means those with explicit duties to ensure safe design, construction, and ongoing safety, such as the principal designer and the principal contractor, who are tasked with planning, coordinating, and monitoring safety from design through construction and into completion. These roles carry legal obligations to manage information, coordinate with others, and comply with safety requirements throughout the life of the building. The other statements don’t fit because general site safety roles or duties claimed by a single safety officer, or the idea that every worker on site becomes a dutyholder, do not reflect the Act’s formal, dutyholder framework.
