This is designed as an outline guide, to give our clients background information to help them understand RiskBase’s methodology in producing assessments. It’s by no means a comprehensive but is useful as an overview. It should be read in conjunction with our Guide to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
