Building risks


retrofitting fire safety systems into old and new buildings, but the cost of only being reactive has become far greater. At the very least, building occupants deserve to be empowered by the knowledge of what they are occupying and be able to make decisions based on the level of risk present. Proactive change is what we need to aim


for in the building industry, and the solution of implementing the B-FLSR can assist in this approach. When a residential apartment is advertised for sale, identifying the B-FLSR above the expensive countertops and kitchen appliances, we will have progressed. The insurance industry can play a huge


role in the implementation of the B-FLSR, which can be seen as an opportunity for the building industry, the insurance industry, governments, fire departments, fire protection companies, fire engineers and most importantly, the end user – the building occupant. Everyone should be able to visit, reside in, work in, and manage emergencies in both old and new high rise buildings in complete safety, and make informed decisions about where they occupy
