Abstract1: A lightning protection system (LPS) for any structure is a sensible precaution, but its installation is particularly important where there is a clear risk to life, the structure or its contents are irreplaceable, or essential services could be affected. This Digest gives guidance on calculating the risk of a building being struck by lightning and describes the principles of designing LPS for new and existing buildings.
