Fire Risk Assessments (FRA)
Protect lives, secure your assets, and guarantee legal compliance. TM UK Group Limited provides exhaustive, PAS 79-compliant Fire Risk Assessments for commercial properties, educational facilities, and multi-occupancy buildings nationwide.
What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a systematic, in-depth audit of your premises to identify fire hazards and evaluate the safety of the people inside. It is the absolute cornerstone of your building’s fire safety strategy.
A professional FRA looks at everything from ignition sources and combustible materials to the effectiveness of your emergency escape routes, fire doors, alarm systems, and staff training. The ultimate goal is to remove hazards where possible, and reduce the remaining risks to an acceptable, legally compliant level.
The Law: The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
In the UK, fire safety is strictly governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Under this law, it is a legal requirement for every business or commercial premises with 5 or more employees to have a documented, up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment.
- The “Responsible Person”: The law places the legal burden on the “Responsible Person” (usually the employer, landlord, or facility manager). Failure to provide a suitable and sufficient FRA can lead to unlimited fines and severe prison sentences.
- The “Competent Person” Requirement: You must appoint a “competent person” to assist in undertaking the preventative and protective measures. By hiring TM UK Group, you transfer this complex burden to highly trained, certified fire safety professionals.
- Dynamic Documents: An FRA is not a one-time certificate. It must be reviewed regularly—typically annually—or immediately if there are significant changes to the building layout, occupancy, or work processes.
Our PAS 79 Compliant Assessment Process
Our expert fire risk assessors utilize the industry-standard PAS 79 methodology to ensure your assessment is comprehensive, structured, and legally robust.
1. Hazard Identification
We conduct a meticulous site walk-through to identify potential sources of ignition (heaters, electrical faults, cooking equipment) and sources of fuel (packaging, chemicals, structural materials).
2. People & Protection Evaluation
We identify who is at risk—especially vulnerable individuals—and evaluate your existing fire protection measures, including emergency lighting, fire alarms, fire doors, and escape routes.
3. Action Plan & Reporting
You receive a detailed, easy-to-understand digital report outlining your current risk level, accompanied by a prioritized, cost-effective Action Plan detailing exactly what needs to be fixed to achieve full compliance.
Beyond the Assessment: Total Fire Safety Solutions
Unlike consultancy-only firms that hand you a list of problems and walk away, TM UK Group provides the complete solution. If your Fire Risk Assessment identifies that your emergency lighting is inadequate or your fire alarms need upgrading, our in-house electrical and fire engineering teams can carry out the remedial installations immediately.
