Building Safety Regulator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) is a non-departmental public body of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and is responsible for regulating higher-risk buildings in England.[1]
History
The BSR was established to raise safety standards for buildings in England in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy in June 2017.[2] Following the passing of the Building Safety Act 2022, it was initially formed on 1 October 2023 within the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The BSR became a standalone regulator on 27 January 2026.[3]
