One of the most significant changes introduced by the Act is the role of the British Safety Regulator (BSR). Acting as an independent watchdog, the BSR oversees all HRB projects to ensure safety is built into every stage of the building’s lifecycle. From planning and construction to occupation, the BSR ensures that safety remains the top priority.
For Gateway 2 applications, which must be submitted before construction begins, the process is rigorous. The BSR examines every aspect of the design and safety management strategy to confirm compliance with the new standards. Missing or incomplete applications can delay projects significantly, so getting this right is crucial.
