Building Safety Bill
The Building Safety Bill is a piece of legislation in the United Kingdom aimed at improving the safety of buildings, particularly in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire. It establishes a new regulatory framework to ensure that buildings are designed and maintained to high safety standards, focusing on fire safety and structural integrity.
The bill introduces measures for better accountability among those responsible for building safety, including building owners and contractors. It also creates a new role, the Building Safety Regulator, to oversee compliance and enforce safety regulations, ensuring that residents feel safe in their homes.
