A safer future

Regulations and the technical detail underpinning the new, more stringent regime for the design and construction of higher-risk buildings bring changes for all buildings.

The details of the new in-occupation safety regime for higher-risk buildings under the BSA have been published online: bit.ly/GOV_BSA

Alongside the regulations, the government’s responses to the consultations can be found here:

  • Consultation on the new safety regime for occupied higher-risk buildings: bit.ly/GOVCon_safetyregime
  • Consultation on implementing the new building control regime for higher-risk buildings and wider changes to the building regulations for all buildings: bit.ly/GOVCon_BCregime
  • Changes to the building control profession and the building control process for approved inspectors: bit.ly/GOVCon_changes

These regulations will fundamentally reform how buildings are designed, built and managed to ensure the safety of those living there.
