EFN2401 - Update on RAAC plank risk: specific risks caused by rooflights - immediate action

Documents

Details

A RAAC roof collapse, in a non-public sector building, this summer has highlighted that rooflights present a particular risk of RAAC failure and that the failure can extend beyond the immediate panel. While there is no current change in National IStructE Guidance, it is therefore advised that all unmitigated rooflight details are considered a ‘critical high risk’ and addressed accordingly.
