Funktionshindrades riskbild i publika lokaler – med avseende på utrymning

Sammanfattning: The aim of the report is to examine the level of risk to disabled people in public assembly buildings in Sweden. The project will investigate what level of risk disabled people are subject to in these buildings, and to conclude if the risk of disabled persons is higher compared to persons with no disabilities. Is the risk level/safety level in some cases unacceptably high? This was done through literature studies, interviews and by the use of a model that was developed by the authors. The analysis is presented in the report as a qualitative risk analysis. Further on some risk reducing actions are suggested, in the report. The purpose of the thesis is also to apply and develop the author’s knowledge within risk assessment and management. The aim is also to contribute with new aspects in the area of disabled people and highlight the huge dilemma that exists in the connection between disabled people and safe evacuation.
