Fire risk assessment software for UK assessors
Fire risk assessment software replaces the Word template and photo folder with a structured digital workflow: the assessor works through a PAS 79 or BS 9792 checklist on site, captures photos, video and dictated notes against each observation — online or off — and the finished, branded PDF report is assembled in one click. AssessHub is fire risk assessment software built for UK assessors, priced at £100 per assessor per month with a 14-day free trial.
Most assessors spend as long writing the report as they do walking the building. That time is pure overhead — it makes nobody safer, and it caps how many buildings a competent assessor can cover in a week. AssessHub removes the mechanical half of the job while leaving every judgement where it belongs.

What the software does
PAS 79 and BS 9792 checklists
Work through the assessment in the order PAS 79-1, PAS 79-2 or BS 9792:2025 sets out, with scoring and a likelihood/consequence risk matrix built in. Build your own checklist templates if your methodology differs.
Capture evidence on site
Photos, up to 20 seconds of video and voice dictation attach directly to the observation they evidence. Drop pins on a floor plan so the client can see exactly where each finding sits.
Works with no signal
Basements, plant rooms and stairwells have no signal. The app keeps working, queues everything locally and uploads in the background the moment a connection returns.
AI-assisted write-up
The AI drafts observation wording, section narratives and the executive summary from what you recorded, grounded in HM Government fire safety guidance. It drafts; it never decides the rating.
QC before it goes out
Automated checks catch missing evidence, unanswered questions and unrated observations, then a QC reviewer proofreads and signs off. QC seats are free.
One-click branded reports
Your logo, your cover template, your colours. Export the full PDF or the action plan — the plan links to a page where the client records status and comments, and those updates show back on the assessment.
How an assessment runs
- 1
Set up the job
Create the assessment, add the premises particulars and upload the floor plan. Pre-fill from a previous FRA or the building’s fire strategy so you are not retyping what you already know.
- 2
Walk the building
Answer the checklist, photograph and film deficiencies, dictate notes and pin findings on the plan. Everything is stored on the device first, so signal is irrelevant.
- 3
Draft and review
The AI turns your captures into professional wording. You edit, set the risk ratings and priorities, then send it to QC with a note or an @mention.
- 4
Issue the report
Export the branded PDF and the action plan. The action plan links to a page in your branding where the client updates each action, and photo and video links inside the report stay live permanently.

Frequently asked questions
What is fire risk assessment software?
Fire risk assessment software is a purpose-built tool that structures the assessment as a digital checklist, captures evidence on site, and generates the finished report. It replaces the combination of a Word template, a camera roll and a dictaphone that most assessors still use, and it keeps the methodology consistent across everyone in the team.
Which standards does it follow — PAS 79 or BS 9792?
Both. The built-in checklists follow PAS 79-1:2020 for premises other than housing, PAS 79-2:2020 for housing, and BS 9792:2025, the 2025 British Standard for fire risk assessment of housing — each with the likelihood/consequence risk matrix and the prioritised action plan. You pick the standard when you create the assessment, and you can clone any built-in template and edit it to match your own methodology.
Does the software work without an internet connection?
Yes. AssessHub is a progressive web app that stores answers, photos and video on the device as you capture them and uploads in the background once you are back in signal. Nothing is lost if you close the app, lose connection mid-survey or run out of battery.
Does AI write the fire risk assessment for me?
No — and it should not. The AI drafts wording from evidence you captured, grounded in HM Government fire safety guidance. Risk ratings, findings, priorities and sign-off remain with the competent person. The assessment is still yours, and the audit trail records that.
How much does fire risk assessment software cost?
AssessHub is £100 per assessor per month (+ VAT), with unlimited assessments and reports. Owners, office admins and QC reviewers are free — only assessors consume a paid seat. Every new team gets a 14-day free trial.
Can the client update the action plan?
Yes. The action plan printed in the PDF links to a page in your company branding. The responsible person sets each action to not started, in progress or done, and can leave a comment. Those updates appear on the action plan inside AssessHub. They do not change the assessment or the risk score.
Can I get my existing reports and branding into it?
Yes. Upload your logo and set a cover template so every PDF comes out in your house style, and use document intelligence to pre-fill a new assessment from a previous FRA or the building’s fire strategy.
