Building Safety Act 2022
Hi All,
Silly question time...but is there some sort of an 'idiots guide' which I can use to work out what buildings the new Building Safety Act applies to please?
We're being told that it is only residential premises with two or more residential units i.e. flats / hmo's etc. But the Gov site appears to show it applies to all premises, including commercial?!?
Any guidance much appreciated as always.

Re: Building Safety Act 2022
Sorry I can't help I am afraid
I had stepped back from residential FRAs before this legislation was enacted but I do like this guide
https://builduk.org/wp-content/uploads/ ... Regime.pdf
Its not exactly what you wanted and it is written from a construction and design perspective, but I like its layout and it has helped me understand the changes. I am just pleased I won't need to get my head fully around it as I am stepping away from fire safety completely

Re: Building Safety Act 2022
Hi just putting Paul1979 question back on the radar as I,m keen to find out as well as I was under a similar impression.
However Fire Safety Responsibilities Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022 states: "These requirement apply to all non – domestic premises, such as where people work, visit or stay, including workplaces, and the non-domestic parts of multi occupied residential buildings ( eg communal corridors, stairways, plantrooms). The requirements do not apply within individual domestic premises. My confusion is around the non- domestic premises, such as where people work.
In addition the Act makes reference to FSO 2005, was wondering how this impacts Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and The Fire safety (Scotland) regulation 2006.
Any view guidance greatly appreciated ( Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere)

Good also to bring this back again in the hope others can offer their thoughts.

Re: Building Safety Act 2022
My understanding is that the act has very little bearing on Scottish fire legislation, except in regard to things such as keeping records of cladding manufacturing details (which I guess makes sense to prevent Southerners using this as a loophole to potentially 'launder' their product somehow).
We often think that when we have completed our study of one we know all about two, because 'two' is 'one and one.' We forget that we still have to make a study of 'and.'
