Vulnerability
The Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB part of BRE Global) sets the standards needed to ensure that fire and security products and services perform effectively. LPCB’s Loss Prevention Standards (LPS) are applied in fire and security sectors around the world.
The Loss Prevention Standard (LSP 2082 : Issue 1.0), published by BRE Global in 2017, defines vulnerability as: ‘A weakness to a security threat which reduces the security of a facility.’
A Guide To Climate Change Impacts, On Scotland’s Historic Environment, published by Historic Environment Scotland in October 2019, defines vulnerability / sensitivity as: ‘The features of an asset that we can influence or control in order to make it more or less susceptible to a particular hazard.’
