The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA)

The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) received Royal Assent on 28th April 2022 and on 1st October 2023 Secondary Legislation, enabled by the Act, became law. This also included the deadline by which owners of ‘High Risk Buildings’ were to register their buildings with the newly former Building Safety Regulator (BSR).

This significant legislation is relevant to almost all who work in the construction industry, not just those working with Higher Risk Buildings and it is vital that personal responsibility is taken to make yourself aware of the major and important features of the BSA 2022 and other connected legislation that are now a legal requirement to know in England and how it has an impact on Devolved Countries in the UK.

A major theme that runs through the legislation is the ability to clearly demonstrate competence and compliance. This course will be an essential step to ensure you are aware of your own and other duty holders’ responsibilities. It covers all the essential elements of the act and legislation, an essential step towards compliance.

Objectives & Assessment

By the end of the course you will be able to:

  • Be able to demonstrate my competence in relation to the Building Safety Act 2022
  • Be able to define relevant legislation around building safety and how that impacts my role
  • Be able to describe what is meant by ‘higher risk building’ and define what is in or out of scope
  • Be able to demonstrate the importance of digital record keeping and advocate that others show the same diligence and competence

Suitability

This course is intended for everyone involved in the construction industry. It will give an overview of the various changes brought about by the Act and what you really need to know. Whilst not all of the Building Safety Act will apply to the work you do, it’s important to understand that the BSA impacts far more than just High Risk Buildings in construction.

"The Course was very helpful and pitched at just the right level. It also has the right amount of "jeopardy" throughout the Chapters and certainly in the Final Assessment; more than enough to keep its audience attentive throughout. I would not hesitate to (and already have) recommend it to all the relevant colleagues."
