17th May 2024Your home, your safety campaign
Do you live in one of the high rise blocks? If so, the Building Safety Regulator has launched the “Your Home, Your Safety” campaign.
Your safety at home is at the heart of BSR’s work. They’ve introduced measures including a new high-rise building register.
If your home is in a building 18 metres or seven or more floors tall, it must be registered with the council. Check if your building is registered.
The register records where a building is and provides information on when and how it was built. It also helps identify safety risks which need to be managed.
The people or organisation who are responsible for your building’s safety must register the building. You may hear them referred to as ‘accountable persons’. They are also legally responsible for managing the risks from the spread of fire and structural failure in the building.
