Part 2: The Regulator and its functions The regulator and its functions Section 4: Duty to facilitate building safety: higher-risk buildings Effect
Section 4 requires the Building Safety Regulator to assist and encourage those responsible for the safe construction and management of higher-risk buildings, as well as residents in those buildings, to secure the safety of people in or around those buildings in relation to building safety risks. This includes helping to make sure that disabled people are safe from building safety risks. This section should be read alongside Part 3 and Part 4 of the Act.
	The effect of this section is to ensure that the Building Safety Regulator takes a proactive role and does not limit its regulatory activity in respect of higher-risk buildings to enforcement. This section requires that the Building Safety Regulator takes other steps to enhance the safety of people in higher-risk buildings in relation to building safety risks, such as developing and publishing best practice guidance or running workshops with those responsible for building and managing higher-risk buildings.
	This section does not create any individual right to assistance in a particular case.
