<p>Responsibility for the safety of a building and its occupants rests with building
owners and is covered by Occupiers Liability and Health and Safety legislation. A
building designed to carry vehicles on multiple levels will have an engineered load
bearing capacity; it is the responsibility of the building owner to ensure that operational
weight limits take into account the type or structural condition of the building and
its capacity to support vehicles. The standards used for the structural design of
buildings (Eurocodes) and referred to in the statutory guidance to the Building Regulations
with regards to structural safety (Approved Document A) are currently under review
by a panel of international experts. We expect the review of these standards to include
considerations associated with electrical vehicles.</p>
