For firefighting purposes, a high-rise building is considered to be one containing floors at such a height or position, or design that external firefighting and rescue operations may not be feasible or practicable. This assessment considers the hazard 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 principles espoused within this document could still be applicable, subject to information and dynamic risk assessment.
