Building Safety Act 2022

The Building Safety Act 2022 is a major piece of UK legislation introduced after the Grenfell Tower fire to strengthen how building safety is managed, with the greatest focus on higher-risk buildings such as tall residential blocks. It creates new duties, more accountable roles, and a stronger regulatory regime overseen by the Building Safety Regulator.

A central idea is the golden thread of information: keeping accurate, accessible records about a building’s design, construction and safety throughout its life. Good record keeping is exactly what Sync’s compliance management supports.
