Risk AssessmentCreating a risk profile for a site is essential in terms of managing threats to health, the environment, quality, and budgets of time and finance. Whilst these are areas that FM Sudafix can assist your team there are specific risk assessments which have to be considered and addressed to ensure compliance with standards. For example BS EN 62305: 2006, the applicable lightning protection standard to most territories insists upon a defined lengthy and complex risk assessment formula. Software to undertake this mathematical risk assessment has been created by a number of companies, and although the most commonly found examples have been approved by the relevant standard bodies they do not agree upon a perception of risk. Consequently the idiosyncrasies of the software can be exploited, or mishandled to distort the level of perceived risk and cost your site either in terms of a poor system which does not control the threats, or at the other end of the scale an over-specified system which is unnecessarily costly. FM Sudafix is successful because our team appreciate that our clients need accurate and pragmatic risk profiles to be addressed in an efficient practical manner.

However as of August 2008 BS 6651: 1999 was withdrawn and its replacement standard BS EN 62305: 2006. The FM Sudafix technical team have industry leading expertise and will not permit lightning to harm any element of a structure or its assets. Earthing / GroundingLightning is not the only form of electrical activity that is essential to manage effectively; fault currents or voltages must be managed to ensure that they are dispersed safely into the strata of the earth. The most important fact about FM Sudafix to remember is that we can design, support and supply earthing on any facility, be it a small str
