Stalking

Under the Building Safety Act 2022, certain serious incidents that may impact the safety of a high-rise residential building must be reported to the Building Safety Regulator. These incidents are known as Mandatory Occurrences. 

A Mandatory Occurrence is any significant incidents or risks that could cause death, serious injury, or permanent disability to a significant number of people. Examples include: 

• Faulty or defective building work which can cause fire spread in the building 

• failure of fire safety systems like fire alarm, Dry risers, Automatic opening Vent system 

• damage to the building's structure or defects 

• fire or smoke spread on multiple floors 

• structural defects 

The Building Safety Manager is legally required to report these events promptly to help manage risks and keep residents safe. 

If you live in or visit one of our high-rise buildings and notice anything that could compromise building safety, please contact our Building Safety Team as soon as possible.
