Building Safety Regulator opens evidence call on falls and collision protection
The regulator is seeking evidence on Part K building requirements and guidance covering stairs, ramps, guarding, glazing and related safety features.
What the record says
The Building Safety Regulator announced October 19 a ten-week call for evidence on Part K and Approved Document K. It invites building professionals, researchers, owners, occupants and other members of the public to share evidence and experience about protection from falls, collisions and impacts. The exercise is intended to identify priorities for future work; the regulator says it is not proposing policy changes and that current requirements and guidance remain in place.
