The Building Safety Act (BSA) requires all individuals and organisations involved in construction across England to demonstrate competence and ensure their work complies with regulations.
The BSA has strengthened requirements, identified duty holders and their responsibilities, and introduced enhanced penalties for non-compliance.
The BSA also introduces additional emphasis on High Rise Residential Buildings (HRRB), but its principles apply to construction work across all types of buildings. Understanding your duties under the Act is essential for keeping England’s buildings safe and ensuring your business stays compliant and avoids disciplinary action.
Wales is currently developing its own version of the Act and Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own regulations you should familiarise yourself with if you are working in these nations. The guidance on this page is designed to be easy to navigate but it is not exhaustive.
If you have further questions, you can contact NFRC’s Helpdesk for support from our dedicated Technical Team.
