Building Safety Regulator Charging Scheme Published

The Health and Safety Executive has detailed the functions that will be charged for under the Building Safety (Regulator’s Charges) Regulations 2023, who will pay, and the basis of the charges.

The charging scheme schedules explain:

• the chargeable functions
• the trigger for each chargeable activity
• who is required to pay for the chargeable activity (as defined within the Building Safety (Regulator’s Charges) Regulations 2023)
• what the amount payable will be made up of
• the relevant legislation for that activity

BSR charges and how they are to be calculated are set out in this document.

In line with HSE strategy, the costs of the services are recovered through charges to make sure those benefiting from its service bear the cost. This ensures a proportionate approach where those whose activities need the highest level of intervention and oversight will pay the highest cost.
