The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places the legal duty for a suitable-and-sufficient FRA on the Responsible Person. Railway premises raise particular complexities: 24/7 operational environments, heritage listed structures, mixed-tenancy stations, temporary worksites within live infrastructure, and assembly populations that fluctuate by orders of magnitude across the day.
JWCS scopes each FRA to the asset rather than running a checklist exercise. Type 1 through Type 4 assessments are delivered to PAS 79-1:2020, with the depth set by the Responsible Person’s risk position, the building age, and any indications of compartmentation defects from prior surveys or works.
Where the asset has an external-wall system in the BSA 2022 higher-risk regime, or in any setting where external-wall construction is a material risk driver, a separate FRAEW under PAS 9980:2022 is delivered alongside.
Findings are presented with proportional action priorities — immediate / 30-day / 90-day / programmed — and a recommended review cycle is set per the asset’s risk profile.
