The Building Safety Act 2022 and its associated regulations require those responsible for Higher Risk Buildings (HRBs) to carry out thorough assessments of building safety risks—including those related to structural failure. This course provides a practical overview of Structural Risk Assessments (SRAs), offering insight into why they matter, how they are conducted, and how structural risks can be effectively managed.
