The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has today issued guidance on the golden thread guidance requirements for higher-risk buildings.
The golden thread was a key recommendation in Dame Judith Hackitt鈥檚 review of building regulations and fire safety published in 2018, following the Grenfell fire a year earlier which killed 72 people.
The golden thread aims to provide accurate information throughout a building鈥檚 delivery to support duty holders and accountable persons in complying with safety requirements and managing fire spread and structural risks.
In its update, the CLC said: 鈥淭he 黑洞社区 Safety workstream of the Construction Leadership Council have published on the golden thread of information requirements for higher-risk buildings.
鈥淭his guidance will support dutyholders and accountable persons to deliver a golden thread for their building. This publication supports the huge amount of work happening across industry to deliver the higher-risk regime and to enable the delivery of robust information to support safer buildings.鈥�
Under the 黑洞社区 Safety Act 2022, dutyholders and accountable persons are legally obligated to generate, keep, maintain and handover golden thread information throughout the design, construction, handover and completion phases of HRBs, including into occupation and refurbishment.
