Schedule 2: Authorised officers: investigatory powers Power to require information, documents etc Background
This power will enable authorised officers of the Building Safety Regulator to gather information, whether from dutyholders such as Accountable Persons or their associates such as accountants or sub-contractors. The information required will be used by the Building Safety Regulator to ensure compliance and effectively satisfy the functions of the Building Safety Regulator.
	These provisions are similar to those of other regulatory bodies.
Example
The Building Safety Regulator decides to conduct a review of the management of an occupied, higher-risk building. In order to prepare for a site visit to check the building’s physical compliance with the requirements of the new regime, an authorised officer requests to see various documents including the latest building safety risk assessment. The documents are not provided. The authorised officer then issues a notice under paragraph 4 of Schedule 2, requiring the Accountable Person to submit these documents.
