RiskBase

RiskBase is a cloud-based fire risk management application. It is used by the Fire Safety Unit to create assessments and by building users to complete surveys and manage fire safety actions.

All Fire Risk Assessments (as of January 2024) conducted by the Fire Safety Unit are produced and stored within the corresponding building profile on RiskBase.  

During the assessment the Fire Safety Adviser will confirm who is responsible for the Fire Safety of the building, they will be added to RiskBase and any required tasks will be assigned electronically when the assessment is submitted.
