This IIRSM-approved course helps teams substantiate fire and structural risk management in England’s occupied higher-risk residential buildings. Teams learn to distinguish the safety case evidence base from its written report and prepare for certificate applications. Practical scenarios address missing records, unverified safety measures and the actions needed to investigate and document findings. Build a consistent approach to maintaining evidence, updating reports and reviewing safety arrangements as buildings and risks change.

Customer Feedback
Why Is the Safety Case & Ongoing Safety Management Training Important?
A list of safety measures cannot demonstrate how fire and structural risks are being managed.
Building safety teams need records showing what was checked, what was found and what action followed. Missing drawings, undocumented alterations and unverified repairs can leave duty holders unable to substantiate their safety arrangements.
Duty holders must manage building safety risks under Part 4 of the Building Safety Act 2022. They must also meet the Higher-Risk Buildings (Keeping and Provision of Information etc.) (England) Regulations 2024. Keep relevant building safety information accurate, accessible and digitally maintained.
Prepare application documents before the Building Safety Regulator directs a Building Assessment Certificate application. Keep the Safety Case Report, resident engagement strategy and mandatory occurrence reporting information ready for submission. Support report statements with evidence showing how risks are managed and what action follows identified defects.
Use this course to establish a shared understanding of evidence gathering, report preparation and continuing safety management. Practical scenarios develop recognition of missing information, unverified controls and the need for documented investigation and follow-up.
This training helps ensure:
- Teams distinguish the safety case from its written report.
- Missing information prompts documented investigation and appropriate follow-up.
- Reports demonstrate how safety measures work together to manage risks.
- Ongoing reviews reflect defects, changes and lessons from building safety concerns.
How This Training Helps Your Organisation
- Improve consistency in gathering and maintaining building safety evidence.
- Strengthen the connection between Safety Case Reports and supporting records.
- Reinforce documented follow-up of defects, missing information and building changes.
