This Checklist This Checklist outlines the standards that must be satisfied for the documents accompanying applications for building control approval and for applications for completion certificates submitted to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR). These applications relate to the construction of a new higher-risk building (HRB), or to works affecting an existing HRB. For guidance on determining whether a building qualifies as an HRB, see Practice Note: Building Safety Act 2022—what is a higher-risk building?). Where works concern an HRB, it also ensures compliance with the Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) (England) Regulations 2023 (HRB Procedures Regulations), SI 2023/909, reg 31(1). This Checklist focuses on the expected form and substance of the documents cited within the application, rather than itemising which documents must be submitted with the application itself or retained and updated as part of the ‘golden thread information’. For broader information on construction and occupation duties for HRBs, see Practice Notes: Building Safety Act 2022—design and construction requirements of the higher-risk building regime and Building Safety Act 2022—higher-risk buildings...

You are responsible for taking steps to reduce workplace fire hazards and to protect staff should a fire occur, minimising risk and safeguarding employees. There is no single, prescriptive set of rules dictating the exact fire safety measures you must adopt. Smaller organisations might require only basic arrangements, whereas larger organisations or those facing specific fire risks may need greater provision and additional resources. This Practice Note offers practical guidance and information on arranging, managing and maintaining fire safety in the workplace. Its scope is office-based, non-residential settings. It addresses fire safety in that workplace context only. Distinct, industry or premises-specific obligations may apply elsewhere, notably in residential and domestic properties, such as flats and multi-storey residential buildings. Regulatory requirements concerning fire safety in residential and domestic premises fall outside this Practice Note, as do building regulations requirements relating to fire safety. For details on regulatory duties relevant to office-based workplaces, see Practice Note: Fire safety in the workplace—regulatory requirements. Fire safety assessment and planning Establishing a clear,...

In general terms, EU case law created after that date is not binding on the UK, though the UK courts and tribunals may still 'have regard to' EU decisions if relevant. For further detail and background on the handling of EU case law, see Practice Note: Retained EU law and assimilated law...
