Run through each item against your finished fire risk assessment report. Tick everything the report covers — the score updates as you go. Use the bottom summary to find the obvious next places to lift the report.

Front matter

Cover page with premises, client, assessor, date and methodology

A single page identifying the premises, client, assessor, assessment date and the methodology used (PAS 79-1:2020 / BS 9792:2025).

Executive summary with overall risk rating

A short narrative summary with the overall fire risk rating clearly shown (trivial / tolerable / moderate / substantial / intolerable).

Structure

All required methodology sections present

PAS 79-1:2020 — all 10 sections; BS 9792:2025 — all 9 sections. No skipped or empty section headings.

Findings

Significant findings clearly identified

Each significant finding is described in plain language, identified by section, and distinguishable from descriptive narrative.

Risk ratings consistent with the assessor’s hazards

For each finding, the likelihood and consequence (and the resulting rating) match the hazard described — no contradictory ratings.

Rationale recorded for each significant finding

Every significant finding has a short rationale explaining why that likelihood and consequence pairing applies.

Action plan

Prioritised action plan with named priorities

An explicit action plan with each remedial action assigned a priority (e.g. critical / high / medium / low).

Action owners assigned

Each action names the person or role responsible for completing it — not just "management" in the abstract.

Target dates set for each action

Each action has a target completion date or a defined deadline (e.g. "before next review").

Review + sign-off

Next review date set

A defined next-review date is present on the cover or in the conclusions section.

Assessor declaration signed

The report carries an assessor declaration with a name (and ideally a signature block) and the assessment date.

Evidence

Photographs included, EXIF / GPS stripped

Photos illustrating findings are embedded, with EXIF/GPS data stripped to avoid leaking unrelated metadata.

Polish

No unresolved placeholder text in the report copy

A final search of the document confirms it contains no leftover author markers, lorem ipsum or unresolved template variables.

Framing avoids "compliant" — uses "structured per"

The report describes itself as "structured per PAS 79-1:2020 / BS 9792:2025" — not as a statement of regulatory compliance. PAS 79 reports are professional documents, not certifications.

This scorer is a pragmatic checklist for self-review. It does not replace independent assurance and is not a statement of regulatory compliance.
