Summary:

This Report aims to provide practical guidance on risk in structural engineering by describing the types of risks that may affect structural engineering work and by providing a decision making framework for risk, taking account of legal principles, available guidance and research. The scope is not limited to the design of new works; risks will occur throughout the life cycle of a building or structure; from concept through detailed design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, dismantling, demolition and ultimately to disposal. The Report covers all the risks which fall to structural engineers to manage. Principally this means risks to the health or safety of workers and the public, and risks to serious environmental damage, where there are both legal and moral obligations to keep risks low.
