Ark Workplace Risk's CEO and Founder - Rosalind Benjamin and Senior Director - Regulatory, Technical & Technology Solutions - David Hills, explore the evolving landscape of Fire Risk Assessments.
A few weeks ago, ARMA (Association of Residential Managing Agents) released their Autumn AQD magazine which featured Rosalind Benjamin and David Hill's 'The Future of Fire Risk Assessments' article.
Here's a snippet of what was shared in the article:
