Introduction
The Building Safety Act 2022 names HSE as the
new Building Safety Regulator (BSR) in England.
The Act contains a lot of new information and
understanding how it fits together is critical for dutyholders to
ensure they understand their responsibilities and the
responsibilities of others.
This course will provide an overview of how
the Act has arisen, the aims and objectives of the new legislation
and the role of the BSR.
Learning outcomes
Delegates will be provided with information that will help them
to:
- Understand how the Act works and how dutyholders interact with
the new legislation
- Gain knowledge about the new dutyholder roles and
responsibilities for design and construction, and for
in-occupation
- Gain an overview of the new regulatory framework for buildings
within scope of the Act
- Understand the role of BSR and how it will both operate and
regulate
What the course will cover
This course provides a background to the Act,
explains the legal framework and how the Act works with the
secondary legislation. It explains what buildings are within scope
of the Act and introduces the new dutyholder roles, including the
role of the accountable person (AP)/principal accountable person
(PAP), the client, the principal contractor (PC) and the principal
designer (PD). The course explains the changes to the building
control profession and delegates will be introduced to key terms
and processes, including safety cases, gateways and the golden
thread. Delegates will be provided with information to help them
understand the main functions of BSR and the roles and
responsibilities of the statutory committees. The course will
outline the new regulatory framework, for the occupation phase and
for BSR as the building control authority for buildings within
scope of the Act.

This course is suitable for those with duties under
the Building Safety Act 2022 to help them interact and comply with
the new legislation, as well as for those who may need to interact

"Assessment is not the end product of risk
management, and businesses should
understand that the elimination or control of the assessed
risks is the more important part of the overall process. This new
qualification focuses on how organisations can effectively and
sustainably manage risks in a proportionate manner."
