What UK Building Safety Act 2022 - Higher-Risk Buildings Gateway Process and Building Safety Manager Obligations requires
UK Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA 2022) establishes a mandatory three-gateway approval process for the design, construction, and completion of higher-risk buildings (HRBs) - defined as buildings with at least 7 storeys or 18 metres height containing at least 2 residential units. The Building Safety Regulator (BSR, part of the Health and Safety Executive) must approve gateway 2 (before construction) and gateway 3 (before occupation) applications; construction cannot begin until gateway 2 is approved. Occupied HRBs require a registered Building Safety Manager (BSM), a resident engagement strategy, a safety case report, and a building safety certificate renewed every 5 years. Duty holders (client, principal designer, principal contractor) bear statutory accountabilities under the new duty holder regime.
