What compliance data needs submitting to the regulator in October?
A webinar, run by Inside Housing and sponsored by window and door technology firm Winkhaus, explored how the sector can navigate the legislative changes and expectations of the Building Safety Regulator
In association with:
Full implementation of the Building Safety Act 2022 came into force at the beginning of this month. From now on, each building owner needs to have a building safety regime in place and submit compliance data to the new Building Safety Regulator.
This is undertaken by the principal responsible and accountable person, whether that be a named individual, an organisation, or a team that is legally responsible for the fire and structural safety risks of the landlord’s properties.
This Inside Housing webinar, sponsored by Winkhaus, asked:
- How can the sector navigate the legislative changes and expectations of the Building Safety Regulator
- What paperwork specifically needs to be submitted from 1 October onwards with the introduction of the recent Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 that requires all fire doors to be regularly checked to standard
- How having a “golden thread” of information and central record-keeping will improve compliance data
- How can a safety team resource and undertake the requirement
