Gowling WLG: Managing building safety – next steps for occupied higher risk buildings

Are you prepared for the evolving challenges of building safety in occupied higher risk building?

The Building Safety Act (BSA) has recently introduced a new layer of statutory duties, designed to ensure that fire and structural safety risks in 'higher risk' residential buildings are appropriately managed during their occupation. With the Building Safety Regulator's 'call in' of safety cases now well underway, staying informed and prepared is critical.

Join our building safety experts, Partners Gemma Whittaker and Rachel Kerr, along with Principal Associates Natalie Barton-Howes and Danielle Klepping, for a webinar where they will explore the key aspects of the 'in-occupation phase' of the building safety regime.

They will be providing valuable insights and touch on key topics, including:

1. Looking into the steps that need to be taken by accountable persons to ensure compliance with the in-occupation phase requirements, as well as the consequences of failing to do so
2. Grey areas presented by the legislation and how the legislative landscape might evolve considering the Grenfell Phase 2 report
3. Insight into the options for managing ongoing, not just initial, compliance with the in-occupation regime, leaning on lessons learned from established health and safety law and practice

This session is suitable for anyone who owns or is responsible for managing a higher risk building (currently defined as a building that is 18m or seven storeys, or above, in height, and contains two or more residential units) in England and/or internal lawyers or other business leads with responsibility for building safety.
