This blog focuses specifically on Structural Safety, detailing the key aspects that must be included in your Safety Case Report. While other areas, such as fire prevention, emergency procedures, and risk assessments, are equally critical, structural integrity plays a fundamental role in ensuring the long-term safety and stability of high-rise buildings.

In recent years, building safety has become more critical than ever for the construction industry, especially in the wake of the tragic Grenfell Tower fire. To further enhance safety standards and ensure accurate reporting, tools such as EWS1 certificates and FRAEW reports have become crucial in assessing external building fire risks and cladding issues.

Fire strategies are not a one-size-fits-all approach, they need to be tailored to the specific use, design, and occupancy of a building. Residential and commercial properties, for example, present uniquely different challenges and require distinct considerations to ensure fire safety.
