Is Building Safety Act compliance required for all buildings?
No. The enhanced occupied building regime primarily applies to Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs) under the Building Safety Act 2022. An HRB is generally a residential building that is: 18 metres or more in height, or 7 or more storeys, and contains
How long does Building Safety Act compliance support take?
Timelines depend on building complexity, existing documentation quality and governance maturity. A structured readiness review may take several weeks, while full Safety Case development and evidence alignment for complex portfolios may require phased delivery.
Can findings be managed across multiple sites?
Yes. Where delivered within the platform, findings and actions can be governed across individual buildings or entire portfolios.
Are these assessments statutory requirements?
Some are statutory (e.g. water hygiene and workplace safety duties), while others support compliance with equality and governance obligations.
How do General Risk Services integrate with Fire Risk Assessments?
General Risk Services complement Fire Risk Assessments by addressing operational and statutory risks beyond fire safety. Findings can be governed centrally within the Compliance Operating System for coordinated oversight across disciplines. This subtly reinforces cross-selling and structural clarity.
Can multiple services be delivered together?
Yes. Services can be delivered individually or as part of a coordinated programme across portfolios, with centralised governance through the Compliance Operating System.
Do these services include risk scoring?
Yes. Where applicable, assessments use structured evaluation and risk scoring frameworks to prioritise findings and support defensible remediation planning.
What are General Risk Services?
General Risk Services include structured assessments covering water hygiene, workplace safety and accessibility risks across property portfolios.
Does this replace a Fire Compartmentation Survey?
No. A Fire Risk Assessment evaluates overall fire safety management and risk. A Fire Compartmentation Survey verifies the physical integrity of passive fire protection elements. The two are complementary and may inform one another.
Does a Fire Risk Assessment include intrusive inspection?
Not always. Type 1 assessments are non-intrusive. Intrusive inspection is introduced in Type 2 and Type 4 assessments where construction detail or compartmentation integrity requires verification.
Most providers offer either software or assessments. We deliver both — under one governed framework. This removes fragmentation, duplication and compliance blind spots.
Unlike traditional software vendors or isolated consultants, Risk Warden operates as a single, accountable compliance partner.
