    This document provides a risk assessment guide for determining the need for lightning protection on buildings and structures. It includes indices for factors like structure type, construction, location, topography, occupancy, and lightning frequency. The user is instructed to select a value for each index and calculate a risk value by dividing the sum of the indices by the lightning frequency index. The risk value determines the level of risk as light, light to moderate, moderate, moderate to severe, or severe. The document recommends considering lightning protection even if the risk is determined to be low due to rising costs of damage and liability over time.
