The UK Building Safety Act represents one of the most transformative regulatory frameworks for the construction and real estate sectors in recent history. With over 12,000 high-rise residential buildings across the UK now under stricter compliance mandates, the Act aims to prevent catastrophic failures by addressing systemic safety challenges. The legislation has established the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) to enforce safety standards, requiring rigorous Safety Case Reviews, mandatory duty holder responsibilities, and robust oversight mechanisms.
This certified program is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the UK's building safety and construction regulatory environment. You will explore key legislation that governs the construction industry in the UK, including the Building Safety Act 2022, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. By delving into these legal frameworks, you will gain essential knowledge of the responsibilities of various stakeholders, from designers and contractors to building owners and managers, throughout the lifecycle of a building.
Throughout the program, participants will develop expertise in a wide array of critical topics, including the new building safety regime for high-rise residential buildings, the role of the Building Safety Regulator, and the implementation of the 'golden thread' of information. You will learn about navigating complex areas such as the new duty holder roles, the gateway points in the building process, safety case reports, and the creation of digital records for built assets. Additionally, the program will cover fire safety regulations, construction site safety management, and the integration of building safety considerations into the design process.
Participants will also acquire practical skills for establishing effective compliance management systems in construction projects.
