BUILDING SAFETY ACT DUTIES TRAINING FOR HOUSING PROVIDERS, CLIENTS & DUTYHOLDERS

Accredited by the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM). Strengthen compliance. Build trust. Protect lives.

What’s This Course About

This Building Safety Act duties training gives housing professionals, Clients, Accountable Persons (APs), Principal Accountable Persons (PAPs), contractors and wider dutyholders a clear, practical understanding of their legal responsibilities under the Building Safety Act 2022. Whether you manage buildings, commission works, oversee contractors or support residents, this course explains how the Act reshapes safety, accountability, competence and evidence requirements across all residential buildings, not just higher‑risk buildings (HRBs). You’ll learn how the Act affects everyday housing operations, including maintenance, refurbishment, resident engagement, and the management of safety information. The course reflects guidance from the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), supports PAS 8673 competence expectations for Accountable Persons, and introduces key concepts such as the Golden Thread, Safety Case Reports, and HRB duties.

You’ll gain the clarity and confidence to:

• Understand why the Act was introduced and what it aims to fix
• Recognise how it reshapes safety, responsibility and competence across all residential buildings
• Identify when routine activities — like replacing fire doors, refurbishing kitchens or instructing contractors, trigger legal duties
• Understand how Clients, Principal Designers, Principal Contractors and Accountable Persons interact under the Act
• See where your role fits within the wider organisational picture
• Support safer decision‑making across housing, asset management, compliance and resident services

Whether you’re supporting residents, completing work, overseeing contractors or making strategic decisions, this course helps you understand your obligations, reduce risk and build trust through compliance.
