Did you know? If you live in a high-rise building in England, you have new rights.

We are the new Building Safety Regulator (BSR).

The Building Safety Act, 2022 gave us legal powers to help make sure tall buildings like the one you live in are safe.

When we refer to tall or high-rise residential buildings, we mean buildings which are 18 metres or seven or more floors in height¹.

BSR regulates building safety risks. These are the potential dangers from structural failure and fire spread.

We will make sure the people responsible for keeping your building safe are managing these risks.

Know your rights.

Your safety at home is at the heart of BSR’s work.

We’ve introduced measures including a new high-rise building register.

If your home is in a building 18 metres or seven or more floors tall, it must be registered with us. Check if your building is registered.

Your safety at home is at the heart of BSR's work.

The register records where a building is and provides information on when and how it was built. It also helps identify safety risks which need to be managed.

The people or organisation who are responsible for your building’s safety must register the building. You may hear them referred to as ‘accountable persons’.

They are also legally responsible for managing the risks from the spread of fire and structural failure in the building.

Your building’s accountable person(s) must do the following:

provide you with safety information about your building
engage with you and listen to your concerns
encourage active involvement and feedback from people who live in the building
provide a clear process for raising concerns or complaints

The information you need should be made available in different formats, so that everyone can access it.

Your voice matters, it is a two-way process. You should be involved in decisions about safety issues that might affect you.

Know your responsibilities.

You also need to play your part to keep your building safe.

This is common sense and there are a few simple things you can do to keep you, your family and your neighbours safe.

Make sure you know what you need to do in an emergency and where to find information about fire safety.
Don’t remove or interfere with safety items. These include items such as fire doors, signs, sprinklers or fire extinguishers.
Report any issues you find to your building manager.

Your building’s accountable person(s) needs to assess and manage any building safety risks. Sometimes they may need to access your property to do this. For your safety, you should allow access if they request it.
