A dedicated regulator was created by the Building Safety Act to oversee safety in higher-risk buildings, such as tall residential blocks. This Building Safety Regulator has a focused remit on the safety of design, construction, and ongoing occupation, and it enforces requirements, conducts inspections, and ensures dutyholders keep up with safety obligations. While the Health and Safety Executive handles general workplace safety, the Building Safety Regulator is the specific body established for building safety under this Act, operating within the broader framework of HSE but with a distinct role. The other options don’t fit this regime: there is no separate National Regulator of Construction Products under this Act, the New Homes Ombudsman covers consumer issues about new homes rather than regulatory safety oversight, and the Health and Safety Executive alone does not carry out this targeted building safety function.
