The Time Drain of Fire Risk Inspection Reports. Fire Risk Assessments are crucial for maintaining safety standards in buildings, but the process of creating comprehensive reports can often become a time-consuming process. Several challenges contribute to this issue, each demanding careful attention and innovative solutions.
Data Collection Complexity. One of the primary challenges faced by Fire Risk Inspectors is the complexity of data collection during site surveys. From documenting Fire Risk conditions to noting potential hazards, gathering accurate and detailed information can be a time-intensive task.
Manual Report Writing. After completing the site survey, inspectors often find themselves grappling with the manual process of report writing. Translating handwritten notes into coherent and professional reports requires significant time and effort, leading to delays in the overall inspection process.
Utilizing Mobile Software. By addressing these challenges with innovative digital solutions, Fire Risk Inspectors can optimize their workflow, minimize time spent on report creation, and ultimately contribute to improved safety standards in buildings.
Adopting Reporting Software. Investing in reporting software tailored to Fire Risk Assessments can revolutionize the way reports are generated. These specialised platforms offer features such as automated report generation, standardized formatting, and integration with inspection data, enabling inspectors to produce professional reports efficiently.
This user friendly mobile Fire Risk Assessment software streamlines data collection and automates report generation, saving inspectors valuable time.
Standardised menus provided by the Fire Risk software enables inspectors to efficiently structure and format reports, reducing the time spent on manual formatting tasks.

The Lite Risk Assessment App uses a series of simple checklists rather than the full PAS 79 question set. It does not have the detailed compliances, non-compliance checklists or the ability to use the costed works add-on.
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a structured evaluation of fire hazards within a building and the risks they pose to occupants. It is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The goal is to identify fire dangers, evaluate who is at risk, and determine whether existing precautions are adequate. A well-conducted FRA helps prevent loss of life and property by ensuring that escape routes, alarms, and fire-fighting equipment are up to standard.
Yes. Any non-domestic premises in England and Wales—including workplaces, public buildings, and communal areas of multi-occupied residential properties—must have a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA). Landlords must also complete an FRA for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and any rented property that is not a single private dwelling, such as homes shared by multiple tenants with communal areas like kitchens or bathrooms. Fire safety laws were strengthened after the Grenfell Tower fire. The Fire Safety Act 2021 and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require FRAs to cover building structures, external walls, and communal fire doors.
FRAs must be reviewed regularly to remain valid—mainly when significant changes occur in the building structure, use, occupancy, or after a fire incident. Although there's no set timeframe in law, best practice recommends annual reviews. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 introduced new obligations for ongoing checks in high-rise buildings, including routine inspections of fire doors and safety-critical systems, reinforcing the importance of keeping FRAs current.
The Grenfell Tower tragedy 2017 was pivotal in UK fire safety regulation. The public inquiry highlighted several failings, including an outdated or insufficient Fire Risk Assessment. The disaster prompted urgent reviews of fire risk procedures, leading to the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022. These laws expanded the scope and accountability of Fire Risk Assessments, especially in high-risk residential settings, ensuring that all key fire safety risks are thoroughly evaluated and recorded.
Failure to carry out a suitable and sufficient FRA can result in serious legal consequences. Enforcement actions include prohibition notices (which can close the building), unlimited fines, and even imprisonment. Fire and Rescue Authorities regularly audit premises, and post-Grenfell reforms have made non-compliance far more visible, with violators being publicly named. Tenants and employees also have stronger legal backing to challenge inadequate safety practices and demand urgent improvements.
BS 9792:2025 is a new British Standard that provides a Code of Practice for carrying out fire risk assessments in housing. It replaces PAS 79-2:2020 and focuses on residential buildings such as blocks of flats, HMOs, and supported housing.
Anyone responsible for fire safety in housing should follow BS 9792:2025. This includes landlords, housing providers, managing agents, and responsible persons acting on behalf of building owners.
BS 9792 builds on PAS 79 but focuses specifically on housing. It introduces new person-centred assessments, updated templates, and clearer guidance for both communal areas and individual dwellings.
No. PAS 79-1:2020 still applies to commercial and non-domestic premises. BS 9792:2025 only replaces PAS 79-2:2020, which covered housing-related fire risk assessments.
A Person-Centred Fire Risk Assessment (PCFRA) focuses on residents who may have difficulty evacuating. This includes people with mobility issues, cognitive conditions, or other support needs. BS 9792 requires these risks to be considered during the assessment.
BS 9792 includes four assessment types. Type 1 is a non-intrusive assessment of common areas. Type 2 includes intrusive checks of common parts. Type 3 covers individual dwellings in a non-intrusive way. Type 4 includes intrusive inspections of dwellings as well as common parts.
BS 9792 is not legislation but is a recognised British Standard. Following it helps demonstrate that you are meeting your legal obligations under the Fire Safety Order and other housing regulations.
No. BS 9792 is designed for multi-occupied housing. This includes flats, maisonettes, HMOs, and specialist housing. It does not apply to single private dwellings.
Updating your assessment to BS 9792 ensures you are following the latest guidance for housing. It helps you manage both building safety and resident needs, improves compliance, and supports safer outcomes in the event of a fire.
