Course Overview

This one-day course gives delegates a solid, working grasp of the Building Safety Act 2022 and what it means for anyone operating in construction.
We cover what the legislation requires, where responsibility sits across the sector, and what's changed under the Act. The course also sets out the regulatory framework the Act has put in place, drawing on the Grenfell Tower tragedy to show why building safety and compliance now carry the weight they do.
Delegates leave with a clear picture of their own responsibilities and how the Act applies directly to their day-to-day role.
