Fire Risk Assessment

Fire Risk Assessments for railway premises, heritage stations, substations, depots, mixed-tenancy estates, and temporary worksites. FRAEW delivered where external-wall construction is a material fire risk driver.

JWCS delivers FRAs at the type and depth the asset warrants — Type 1 through Type 4 against PAS 79-1:2020 (the non-domestic premises code of practice; PAS 79-2 covers domestic). Scope sized to the Responsible Person’s risk position, the building age, and any compartmentation defects surfaced from prior surveys or works.

Where external-wall construction is a material fire risk driver — at any scale, not only Building Safety Act 2022 higher-risk buildings — a separate Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls (FRAEW) is delivered under PAS 9980:2022 alongside the asset-wide FRA.

Findings come with proportional action priorities — immediate, 30-day, 90-day, programmed — a photographic schedule, and a recommended review cycle set per the asset’s risk profile. Action plans are written to be defended at audit, not to disappear into a filing system.
