For building owners & housing associations
Your safety case shouldn't go out of date the day you print it.
Cascade keeps your building safety case live so you always know the risks you're dealing with under the Building Safety Act, not just what they were when the report was first written. How ready is your building safety case? Use our free assessment tool to identify areas that may need strengthening and receive a prioritised action plan
Free assessment
Under the Building Safety Act, a safety case isn't a document you write once and file away, it is an ongoing duty.
Cascade builds yours the way a safety case should be built: starting from the hazards in your building and the controls that manage them. Upload documents and be guided through a live HAZID and watch as the risk assessment take shape. The system uses this information to build the safety case framework and link it to the evidence behind it, notifying you the moment a control weakens or evidence expires.
The problem
A static PDF stops being true almost immediately.
Most safety cases are static PDFs, assembled once under deadline pressure and rarely revisited until the next audit. Evidence will expire and controls degrade without anyone noticing and when the regulator asks how you know a claim is still true, the honest answer is often that you don't, at least not anymore.
Cascade replaces the one-off document with a living risk record that presents controls as being managed when the evidence behind them is up to date and validated.
How it works
From the documents you already have to a live risk record.
- 1
Upload what you have
FRAs, fire strategies, surveys, drawings, O&M manuals, photos.
- 2
Cascade extracts the facts
Height, construction, staircases, sprinklers, cladding, stay-put strategy etc. and tells you what is still missing.
- 3
Confirm your building's risk picture
Cascade proposes the hazards, threats and controls that apply to carry out a HAZID.
- 4
Assess each control
Record ownership, strength and evidence. You are required to justify your assessments at this stage.
- 5
Your safety case is deveoped in the background
Claims and sub-claims are generated from the bowtie and the evidence underneath, structured to BSR criteria and fully editable.
- 6
Export, submit and keep going
A branded, regulator-ready report with the underlying risk picture remaining valid long after submission.
Built for accountable persons
Green means green, because the evidence supporting the assessment is valid.
Always-current status
A claim can't be assessed as valid unless the controls behind it are effective and the evidence hasn't expired.
Automatic gap detection
Unknown facts, missing evidence, weak controls and unsupported claims surface as actions with owners and due dates.
A defensible audit trail
Every fact, assessment, comment and approval is recorded in the event log, so you can show exactly how a conclusion was reached and when.
Positive friction, not automation
AI can extract and suggest but nothing is accepted automatically. A real, competent human must validate the AI.
