Why undertake a third-party peer review of a Fire Risk Appraisal and Assessment of External Wall (FRAEW)?
🏢 A peer-review can offer significant benefits in ensuring fire safety compliance and accuracy. Independent reviews provide an unbiased, expert perspective, identifying any oversights or inconsistencies in the original assessment. This can be crucial in verifying that the FRAEW aligns with PAS 9980 and accurately represents the building's fire risk profile.
🏢 A peer review also strengthens credibility, especially when assessments involve complex façade systems where combustible materials may be present. By validating the risk assessment findings, a third-party review can instill confidence among stakeholders, from building owners to residents, in the accuracy and thoroughness of the report.
🏢 Additionally, peer reviews often bring added value through the reviewers' specialised knowledge, potentially highlighting alternative mitigation measures or best practices that the original report may not have covered. This comprehensive approach not only enhances fire safety but may also reduce long-term costs associated with potential errors or omissions in the initial FRAEW.
