Building safety regulations

Building safety regulations are rules designed to ensure structures are safe for occupants and the public. They cover aspects like structural integrity, fire safety, electrical systems, ventilation, and accessibility. These standards help prevent accidents, reduce risks during emergencies, and promote accessible, healthy environments. Compliance involves proper design, construction, inspections, and ongoing maintenance. Authorities enforce these regulations through codes and permits, ensuring buildings meet safety criteria before and after completion. Ultimately, they protect lives and property by setting clear safety benchmarks that builders and owners must follow throughout a building’s lifecycle.
