Better safe than sorry

Article Abstract:

Property owners whose building has suffered severe damage are required under UK law to make the building safe and to protect visitors. This can present significant challenges, as normal access may not be available for some time after the building has been damaged. The property owner may come under strong pressure from tenants, but should not allow tenants on to site without taking proper precautions. It is vital to first assess the nature and extent of the risks to visitors.
