Understanding the Building Safety Act

The Building Safety Act (BSA) has far-reaching implications for everyone in construction.

This new legislation has been subject to ongoing evolution and misunderstanding within built environment forums. It’s critical our industry is exposed to the implications of the BSA and understands their responsibilities within the act to manage their business’ and contribute toward the provision of safer spaces, whilst demonstrating all buildings have been built safely.

In our BSA training courses, we discuss how relevant this act is to the improvement of best practice, formalising accountability with a clear line of evidence-based management.

Our full and half day training sessions are suitable for contractors, consultant designers, key supply chain members and clients.

The aim is to enlighten organisations with the core principles of the Act by testing existing knowledge and providing simple facts for forward business and construction management.

By the end of the course you will be able to:
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the Building Safety Act (BSA)
  • Share awareness with colleagues, clients, consultants and contractors
  • Be able to define a High-Risk Building (HRB)
  • Have a reference point to the relevant legislation and sources of further information
  • Understand the roles and responsibilities of Duty Holders

    and Principal Contractor
  • Follow and manage the new Building Control Process

  • Understand the principles for managing Safety-Critical Elements
  • Understand how to identify the process to manage Safety-Critical Elements
  • Understand the importance and relevance of keeping digital records
