Cascade Risk is a digital safety case application designed to help Principal Accountable Persons (PAPs), property managers and housing providers efficiently create, manage and maintain their Building Safety Case and Safety Case Report (SCR). It simplifies compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022 by centralising risk assessments, control measures, maintenance records and resident engagement plans in a structured, digital format.
Unlike traditional manual processes, Cascade Risk ensures your Safety Case remains live and continuously updated, keeping you fully prepared for Building Safety Regulator (BSR) requests at any time.
