Building Safety Act 2022

In an occupied higher-risk building, a missed fire safety issue or structural defect can put every resident at risk. Accountability remains with the Accountable Person or Principal Accountable Person even when work is delegated, making clear oversight of building safety risks, responsibilities and supporting information essential.

This toolkit reinforces the course by keeping core AP and PAP responsibilities clear in practice, including managing building safety risks, maintaining the golden thread, overseeing competence and appointments, reporting mandatory occurrences and preparing safety case arrangements. It supports a more consistent level of building safety understanding across buildings, sites and teams.
