Course Content
The New Gateway 2 and 3 for Key Decisions and Review for HRBsprocess represents a critical stage in managing higher-risk buildings (HRBs) under the Building Safety Act. During the construction phase, from Gateway 2 through to Gateway 3, dutyholders must meet strict legal obligations to ensure that work is carried out safely, in compliance with approved plans, and that any significant changes are properly controlled and recorded.
Section 1: What the Law Demands
Once building work commences, the law requires full transparency and control of changes throughout the project. The New Gateway 2 and 3 for Key Decisions and Review for HRBsprocess demands that the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) is informed of any Majoror Notifiable Changesthat occur between these stages. All controlled changes must be documented within the Change Control Plan or Log, ensuring an auditable record of compliance and accountability.
Section 2: Best Practice and Thinking Differently
This section explores how to identify and manage Majorand Notifiable Changes, how to submit Mandatory Occurrence Notices and Reports, and how these activities align with the Golden Thread of Information. Attendees will learn how proactive communication and structured documentation can reduce risk and maintain compliance throughout construction.

Delegates will gain insight into how the HSE’s Building Safety Regulator (BSR)functions during this crucial phase, including its powers to pause or continue building worksfollowing a major change, the implications of failing to report a safety occurrence, and the process for notifying the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS). The section also clarifies BSR fees and charges, helping project teams plan effectively for compliance costs.
