The BSR has today published a ‘Safety Case Toolkit’ guide which is accessible here.
The information within the guide is aimed at accountable persons (defined under section 84 of the Building Safety Act 2022) to assist them in preparing a safety case report. A safety case report must demonstrate that all reasonable steps have been taken to prevent building safety risks happening and reduce the seriousness if they do.
Following the secondary legislation published last month, the Health and Safety Executive has today (19th Sept 2023) published a new set of guidance documents for the in-occupation parts of the new building safety regulatory regime for high-rise buildings in England, overseen by the Building Safety Regulator.
The new guidance covers:
• Preparing a Resident Engagement Strategy
• Preparing a Safety Case Report
• Safety Case for a High-Rise Residential Building
• Building Safety Guides for Accountable Persons
There is also updated guidance from the Home Office on Fire Door Checks (published 18th Sept 2023)
