The Building Safety Act 2022 aims to?

Enhancing safety standards and accountability in building construction and management is the aim of the Building Safety Act 2022. It was created to strengthen how buildings are designed, built, and managed, especially higher‑risk structures, so that safety is built into every stage. The act establishes a Building Safety Regulator, sets new duties on those responsible for safety, requires detailed, up-to-date safety information to be available throughout a building’s life (the so-called golden thread), and introduces a safety case regime for higher‑risk buildings along with mandatory reporting and stronger resident engagement. All of this focuses on preventing harm and ensuring clear responsibility when safety issues arise, rather than increasing taxes, cutting costs, or relaxing regulations.
