The Building Safety Act 2022

The Building Safety Act 2022 is a UK law aimed at improving building safety standards, particularly after the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy. It establishes stricter regulations for the design and management of high-rise residential buildings, ensuring they are safer for residents. The Act requires more transparency and accountability from builders and owners, introduces measures for resident engagement, and sets up a safety regulator to enforce compliance. Its goal is to ensure that safety is prioritized throughout a building's life cycle, enhancing protection for those living in multi-storey homes.
