RiskFlag’s Housing Risk Management Software

The Building Safety Act (Higher-Risk Buildings) requires the creation of Safety Cases for high-rise (18 meters high or buildings of at least 7 storeys), multi-occupied residential buildings, overseen by the Building Safety Regulator (BSR). These Safety Cases must demonstrate that building safety risks, such as fire and structural failure, have been identified and are being managed effectively.

Bow Tie Diagrams & Risk Registers

In building health and safety, effective risk management relies on a clear understanding of potential hazards, their causes, and the controls in place. RiskFlag’s integrated Bow Tie analysis and Risk Registers bring this clarity into a systematic, centralised format, making them essential tools for safety teams in housing.

Our Bow Tie diagrams visualise how hazards – such as fire spread, structural failure, or maintenance defects – can lead to harmful outcomes, along with the preventive and mitigative barriers that reduce risk. Or, use the Register module to conduct a HAZID or SWIFT analysis, for example.

Used together, these tools strengthen building Safety Cases by linking real-world risks to documented controls. Whether you’re working to comply with the Building Safety Act or aiming to demonstrate best practice, RiskFlag ensures your risk management approach is intelligent, transparent, and audit-ready.

Claim > Argument > Evidence

RiskFlag’s digital safety case module is based on the industry best practice ‘Claim-Argument-Evidence’ framework. So, how might this look in your HRB safety case?

Claim

All personnel involved in managing HRB are competent to perform their roles safely and effectively.

Argument
  • Staff and contractors are trained and qualified
  • Recent experience is maintained, as defined in the Safety Management System (SMS)
  • Competency is periodically assessed and reviewed
Evidence
  • Qualifications (e.g., CIOB Level 6 Diploma)
  • Evidence of recent experience and requalification pathways
  • Independent third-party assessments or peer reviews

Getting Safety Cases Right

A Higher-Risk Building (HRB) Safety Case isn’t just about regulatory compliance – it’s about proving you’ve done everything reasonably possible to manage HRB safety risks, and that any remaining risk is justified.

Many organisations approach this backwards, starting with evidence collection. This wastes time and often leads to incomplete or unclear Safety Cases. The right approach starts with understanding the risk, then building your claims, arguments, and finally, evidence.

At RiskFlag, we understand what makes a Safety Case effective. Our platform is built around proven best practices, guiding users through a logical structure that starts with risk and leads to clear, credible evidence. With configurable tools and expert support, we help you create consistent, compelling safety cases.
