Building Assessment Certification

As  the most significant part of regulatory oversight, and as the tool for risk management of occupied residential HRBs the (Principal) Accountable Person, (the Dutyholder 'in occupation') is required to undertake a 'Building Risk Assessment', and like any other risk assessment keep it up to date.

Principally in place to manage 'Building Safety Risks' - Spread of fire and structural failure - the BAC  must be in place at all times, and will form part of the building's Safety Case, which itself will be summarised in the Safety Case Report which will be called-in by the Building Safety Regulator when the (P)AP is requested to apply for a Building Safety Certificate.

There are therefore various processes that will need to be undertaken based on information (on which you can truly rely) that you will need available to inform the questions that fall out of undertaking the risk assessment.

This half-day course will give you an in-depth understanding of why it is required, when and what it is seeking to achieve. It will also run through various methods for systematically assessing the risks, and tools to assist. 

We will also illustrate models for demonstrating how the assessments were made and how the decisions were reached.

Subjects covered will include: The Law, the guidance, building risk assessment, creation of the Golden Thread, Safety Case development, the building risk assessment being used to develop a Safety Case Report and the significant information that you will need to manage fire, spread of fire and structural stability to avoid disproportionate collapse.
