3.1.5 Conclusion

Not only the objective risk plays an important role in risk identification, but also the

subjective risk perception and the change of risks. It does not suffice to consider

experiences made in the past. In the future, risks may occur that have been hith-

erto unrecognized or underestimated, as single risk or in combination.

It is therefore of utmost importance for the fire safety and security managers con-

tinually expand their expertise in the fields of security and fire safety, to exchange

knowledge and experience, and thus be able to learn from each other.
