Overview
The building and fire safety regulatory space has seen much changed over the last few years. The landmark Building Safety Bill Act has come into law, the Fire Safety Act has now commenced, and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 have been published and will come into force from January 2023.
However, all that is just the beginning. Many of the details around the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of information management or creating and maintaining the golden thread are still due to come down the line.
What are the key challenges for the profession and what are some of the solutions that can be put in place in anticipation of these greater demands? Where are the biggest information gaps? And how to go about it filling them? The HSE over the last two weeks released some guidance on what building information should be included in safety cases and reports, yet the secondary legislation due to be consultation on is still to be published.
On Fire risk assessments, we have finally seen some stronger competence requirements being put in place via the Building Safety Act. What are the questions that organisations and people should be asking themselves and how can they document ongoing delivery against the FRA?
