Description
Gain Awareness of BSR!
The purpose of this Building Safety Act Awareness Course is to provide delegates with the knowledge and understanding of the Building Safety Act and recognise the implications of possible non-compliance with BSR. In July 2020, the Government introduced the Draft Building Safety Bill, aimed at advancing comprehensive reforms to the building safety system and addressing concerns identified by Dame Judith Hackitt DBE in her independent review, “Building a Safer Future.”
The new regime under the BSA 2022 applies from and including 1 October 2023, and applies to both occupied buildings and those under construction. From and including 1 October 2023, new buildings that fall within the regime and are “completed” after this date must be registered before the building is occupied. This Act makes ground-breaking reforms to give residents and homeowners more rights, powers, and protections – so homes across the country are safer. It overhauls existing regulations, creating lasting change and makes clear how residential buildings should be constructed, maintained, and made safe. The Act creates three new bodies to provide effective oversight of the new regime: the Building Safety Regulator, the National Regulator of Construction Products, and the New Homes Ombudsman.
