What a building safety concern is
A building safety concern is an issue in council housing that could lead to serious harm if it's not addressed. This includes anything that may cause significant injury or death to a large number of people.
Common examples include:
- issues that could cause the spread of fire
- total or partial building collapse
- structural problems
- failure of critical safety systems such as fire alarms or smoke ventilation
