Reach UK Building Safety Act 2022 readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) is the UK post-Grenfell legislative response. Establishes the Building Safety Regulator (BSR — part of HSE) with oversight of the building safety regime + competence framework for industry. For higher-risk buildings (HRBs — broadly buildings >=18m or >=7 storeys with >=2 residential units), introduces the gateway regime (Gateway 1 planning, Gateway 2 pre-construction, Gateway 3 completion), an Accountable Person, a Principal Accountable Person, a Building Safety Case + Safety Case Report, mandatory occurrence reporting + the residents engagement strategy. Tightens construction product regulation + extends limitation periods for defective premises claims to 30 years (retrospective) + 15 years (prospective). Quick Policy maps UK Building Safety Act 2022 into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.
