A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is an inspection of fire safety in your buildings . The purpose of the assessment is to:
1. Assess the risk of a fire occurring,
2. Assess the likelihood of the occupants being able to respond to a fire,
3. Assess the consequences of a fire occurring in the building,
4. Take preventative action.

PMG employ experienced, qualified, independent specialist assessors from PEMCO LLP to carry out the assessments - In addition, PMG consult with local fire authorities to ensure PMG are doing everything to keep you safe.

A Fire Risk Assessment is carried out annually and preventative actions reviewed monthly. On occasion it may not be possible for us to meet the desired target dates for actions set out in the assessment due to factors outside of PMG control. In such circumstances (and where applicable) PMG will identify and introduce additional or temporary measures to ensure fire safety at all times.

In the first instance speak with the Responsible Person (RP) for your building. Information on how to contact your RP can be found in your welcome handbook and on notices in reception. If unsure speak to a member of staff who will be happy to assist you.

Be aware of the fire evacuation strategy and procedure. You will find information on your assembly point and what to do in the event of fire displayed on Fire Action Notices dotted around the building and in your welcome handbook. Every six months PMG will hold a fire drill, PMG ask for your cooperation as this will help guide you on the evacuation procedure. Failure to evacuate the building upon hearing the fire alarm puts you and others at risk. If in doubt please speak to the Responsible Person for your building.

Your guarantor will be required to sign paperwork to check they are eligible and that they agree to this procedure. If needs be, PMG have the right to contact this person under PMG agreement.

If you are under 18 at the time of booking then you will require a Guarantor and that person must be your parent or legal guardian.

Your guarantor is anyone over the age of 18. They should be in full time employment, a homeowner and/or renting accommodation. It is important you check with this person before booking your room that they are happy to act as Guarantor.
