The Building Safety Act 2022 represents the most significant change to building 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 lifecycle, 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 essential guidance on this new landmark legislation and its implications for building maintenance, design and construction. It outlines duties, standards and roles and explains how different parties can ensure compliance with the BSA.
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:
If these responsibilities are not met, the Building Safety Regulator can take legal action. Penalties include prohibition notices, unlimited fines or imprisonment for severe violations.
Building Safety Act 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 2022.
Building Safety Act Training consists of one module and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
