FIRE SAFETY: FINAL REPORT

CHAPTER 8: GOLDEN THREAD OF BUILDING INFORMATION

Identifies the need for a ‘golden thread’ of information for all higher risk
residential buildings (HRRBs), so that their original design intent is
preserved and changes can be managed through a formal review process.
Equally, access to up-to-date information is crucial when effectively
carrying out a fire risk assessment of abuilding and determining whether
any action is required.
