About This Course

Building Safety Act 2022 Training examines this landmark legislation and outlines the extended responsibilities, duties and standards it imposes on construction and building safety professionals. It ensures duty holders are aware of their enhanced role in building safety and understand how to comply with the Building Safety Act.

Why is This Course Important?

The Building Safety Act 2022 represents the most significant change to building and fire safety legislation in 50 years. It overhauled the building safety regime in England and established a new regulatory framework for safer building design, construction and maintenance.

Professionals in construction and building safety have enhanced roles and responsibilities under the BSA. Throughout a building’s life cycle, duty holders must ensure robust safety standards are met and critical information is shared with the Building Safety Regulator and other relevant parties.

This Building Safety Act Training course provides an overview of this landmark legislation and its implications for building safety. It outlines duties, standards and roles and explains how different parties can ensure compliance with the BSA.

Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?

The Building Safety Act introduces reforms for high-rise and other specified buildings. All individuals and organisations invested in high-rise building safety have enhanced responsibilities under the Building Safety Act.

At every stage of a building’s lifecycle, parties must cooperate and ensure residents’ safety. Specific responsibilities include:

  • Assess and manage building safety risks
  • Meet strict safety standards for building design, construction and maintenance
  • Pass “gateways” – specific stages in construction that must be cleared to progress
  • Maintain the “golden thread” – a chain of relevant building safety information
  • Develop and maintain a “safety case” documenting how risks are managed
  • Register high-rise buildings with the Building Safety Regulator
  • Apply for and maintain a Building Assessment Certificate
  • Prepare a resident engagement strategy
  • Establish systems to manage and resolve residents’ complaints

If these responsibilities are not met, the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) can take legal action. Failed duty holders can expect prohibition notices, unlimited fines or imprisonment for severe violations.
