Reporting a safety issue and the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Policy
As part of the requirements under the Building Safety Act 2022, Hull City Council must have a means of capturing and reporting certain fire and structural safety issues, called ‘safety occurrences’ to the Building Safety Regulator.
We have put in place a Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) system which is designed to enable the reporting of building safety occurrences affecting High Risk Buildings.
We must submit a mandatory occurrence notice and report when a safety occurrence has caused, or would be likely to present a risk of -
- the death of a significant number of people
- serious injury that needs immediate treatment in hospital or causes a permanent or irreversible disabling condition to a significant number of people
Safety occurrence are incidents or risks involving -
- structural failure of the building
- fire safety (design and construction phase)
- the spread of fire or smoke in the building (occupation phase)
Unless they are remedied, safety occurrences would be likely to present a risk of serious harm to people when the building is in use and include both -
- an incident that has happened
- the risk of an incident happening in the future
The Building Safety Regulator will be notified even if the safety occurrence is remedied immediately.
Safety Occurrences either within your own home or communal areas can be reported in the following ways -
- by telephone – 01482 300 300
- face to face at a Customer Service Centre
In an emergency, dial 999.
Building safety is everyone’s responsibility, and we feel resident feedback and complaints are vital in helping us improve our service and the safety of our blocks.
