BSA 2022
A safety case the BSR can read in one pass. one pass
Built for Higher-Risk Buildings under the Building Safety Act 2022. Author the Building Safety Case Report alongside every piece of evidence that backs it up — versioned, linked, ready for the regulator.
BSR-recommended Bow Tie methodology, built in.
Everything the BSR asks you to demonstrate
A purpose-built workspace, not a folder of PDFs.
CLASSIFICATION
HRB classification + Accountable Persons
Mark the building as a Higher-Risk Building, log Principal Accountable Person details, capture scope of responsibility, and store the BSR registration reference. The whole header of your safety case in one place.
- HRB toggle with height + storeys context
- Principal + supporting Accountable Persons
- BSR registration number + dates
- Scope of responsibility narrative
HRB
BOW TIE
Bow Tie risk analysis (BSR-recommended)
Causes flow through preventive barriers to a top event, then through mitigative barriers to consequences. The methodology the BSR explicitly references. Visual canvas + ALARP justification per diagram.
- Drag-build causes → barriers → top event → barriers → consequences
- Effectiveness scoring on every barrier (1–5)
- ALARP narrative per diagram
- Approval workflow with status lock
BOW TIE
NARRATIVE
Major Hazard Reports + Building Safety Case Report
Formal narrative documents for every major hazard (fire spread, structural failure, smoke control…) linked to their Bow Ties. The BSCR is the document you submit — built section-by-section with completeness tracking and a sign-off lock.
- Tiptap rich-text editor per section
- Auto-versioning on every status change
- Print-ready layout with cover page
- Completeness sidebar — knows what's missing
BSCR
GOLDEN THREAD
Documents versioned for the regulator
Every document keeps its full version history with a one-click swap to a new version. Reference any version from anywhere in the safety case. That's the golden thread the BSA requires.
- Upload-new-version on any document
- Full timeline with downloads of each historical version
- Linkable from BSCR sections + Major Hazard reports
- Stored on DigitalOcean Spaces, signed URLs

Frequently asked questions
Higher-Risk Building under the Building Safety Act 2022 — residential buildings ≥18m tall or ≥7 storeys with at least two residential units. SAMRISK helps you record the classification but doesn't make the legal determination — confirm with the BSR if you're unsure.
Why it matters
The Building Safety Act 2022 didn't make safety cases optional — every Higher-Risk Building needs one, every section of it has to be evidenced, and every piece of evidence needs to be traceable through its history. The "golden thread" is a legal requirement, not a buzzword.
SAMRISK puts the methodology (Bow Tie analysis, Major Hazard Reports, BSCR sections) and the evidence (documents, incidents, audits, inspections, PEEPs, complaints) in the same place. When the BSR turns up with questions, every answer is one click away from the source data — versioned, dated, signed off where required.
