STRATEGIC PILLAR SIX:
Improve Regulatory Effectiveness and Efficiency
OUTCOME:
Alberta’s safety codes system is reliable, consistent, and transparent. It adds value for its users and keeps Albertans safe in their homes and buildings.
Enabling risk-based approaches to oversight and compliance enforcement allows for effective allocation of resources to high-risk, high-impact safety issues. The Council can enable risk-based approaches within the system by providing guidance, establishing standards, and leading by example through our transition to an outcomes-based and risk-informed organization. As an effective and efficient regulator, we will prioritize continuous improvement and identify opportunities to enhance service delivery to our clients and stakeholders.
Strategic Goal:
Developing and reporting on outcomes-based programs that are risk-informed to support an efficient and effective safety codes system.
Objectives:
The Council will review its regulatory functions to identify opportunities to improve existing functions, clarify outcomes, measure and report on performance, and enable risk-based approaches to oversight and compliance monitoring.
