RAAC: NFRC Safety Alert

NFRC's guidance highlights the key actions contractors should take if they suspect the presence of RAAC planks on a site.

As of 4 September, key national news outlets are reporting on safety issues associated with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) planks in over 150 schools in England. NFRC's Technical Team, alongside CROSS and DLUHC, developed a Safety Alert on RAAC when the issue was highlighted in 2019. This guidance outlines the approach that should be adopted if a contractor suspects RAAC planks are present on a flat roof refurbishment. Read the Safety Alert here.
