This assessment considers the hazards risks and control measures for operational incidents involving high rise buildings. This Generic Risk Assessment (GRA) does not cover all aspects of firefighting in buildings, however, the principle espoused within this document could still be applicable, subject to information and dynamic risk assessment (DRA). As with all GRAs this assessment provides a starting point for Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) to conduct their own assessments within the context of local conditions and existing organisational arrangements.
