BSA

The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) introduced significant reforms to building safety regulation in England and Wales, establishing new legal duties for those responsible for higher-risk buildings, particularly residential buildings over 18 metres or seven storeys. The Act created the Building Safety Regulator within the Health and Safety Executive, strengthened residents' rights, and imposed stricter accountability on developers, building owners, and managing agents. Key updates and guidance are published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), the Health and Safety Executive, and through primary and secondary legislation on legislation.gov.uk. Watchdog HQ monitors changes to BSA weekly.
