New London Architecture

Shaping safer buildings: the new era of compliance under BSA post-Grenfell

Webinar

Friday 06 December 2024
10:00 - 11:00

This webinar explores the latest developments in fire safety following the Grenfell Inquiry’s final report, focusing on new compliance standards in the Building Safety Act. 
Join us for a crucial technical webinar addressing the most recent developments in building safety, based on the final report findings from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, published in September 2024 – seven years on from the Grenfell fire. The latest updates to the Building Safety Act (BSA) signify a critical shift in culture across the entire built environment, emphasising the need for concrete actions to address the reports identified shortcomings. These changes will impact every sector, including architecture, engineering, development, construction, and product manufacturing, with an adaptation period expected to span the next few years as the industry embraces these new processes and safety standards. 
 
During the session, we'll cover the recent amendments to the BSA, including new duty holder responsibilities, the phased implementation of fire safety strategies required for vulnerable occupants in High-Risk Buildings, the competency frameworks for licensed contractors and engineers, the role of the principal designer and the creation of a Building Safety Regulator. This event is specifically designed for professionals in the construction and built environment sectors who may be navigating new safety standards and compliance measures in the BSA. Learn how these regulatory changes will reshape the industry and what we need to do to ensure compliance.
