The Building Safety Act - Working Under the New Rules
Reflective Professional Learning for Modern Construction and Building Safety Practice
The Building Safety Act represents one of the most significant shifts in UK construction and property regulation in decades. Emerging from years of inquiry, systemic failure analysis and industry reform, the legislation introduces new expectations around competence, accountability, information management and the long-term safety of occupied buildings.
This Signature programme from Three Landscapes Learning Studio has been designed to help construction professionals, organisations and dutyholders move beyond surface-level compliance awareness towards meaningful operational understanding and reflective professional practice.
Rather than focusing solely on legal terminology, the programme explores:
-
why the legislation exists
-
how the industry reached this point
-
how safety culture influences decision-making
-
and what practical implementation looks like across real projects and organisations.
