The UK Building Safety Act 2022 ("BSA") - In-Occupation Regime

The BSA is the main piece of legislation setting out the Government's response to the Grenfell tragedy. The BSA introduces new rules to ensure the safety of taller buildings in the design and construction phase and in the so-called "in-occupation" phase. In this Alert we summarise the new rules for the in-occupation phase. The regime applies to all occupied higher risk buildings ("HRB's"), including existing buildings.
