Introducing the building safety wiki

[edit] About this wiki

The Building Safety Wiki brings you all the information you might need to understand and comply with the Building Safety Act 2022 and secondary legislation in England and related fire safety legislation, and similar essential rules in all other parts of the UK.

It contains regular news updates, guidance, factual articles and expert insights on fire and building safety from a wide range of authoritative sources, all brought together in one place.

[edit] How to use

In the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 and subsequent reviews and Public Inquiry, we all need to ensure such a tragedy can never happen again. But the lessons extend well beyond housing. The Building Safety Act and related legislation create an entirely new building safety regime that impacts everyone involved in the planning, commissioning, design, construction, surveying, maintenance and management of all buildings and the built environment. New rules are now in full force and aim to restore confidence in the safety standards of all buildings.
