StatusFinalised
A first pass, not the final word.
Certshor gives you a risk rating and the regulation behind it, so you are never starting from a blank page. But nothing is final until you say so.
The tool does the legwork. The judgement stays yours.
It works from your findings
The assessment is built on what you recorded, not invented around it.
Your edits win
Change anything and your version takes precedence. The original is kept for the audit trail.
Nothing is hidden
Every rating traces back to the section it came from.
External Construction and ElementsQ04, waste bins
Certshor returned
Kept on record
Non-CompliantMedium risk
Waste bins are currently positioned directly against the building wall adjacent to the main entrance, which increases the risk of arson and fire spread to the property.
You changed it
What goes in the report
Edited
Non-CompliantHigh risk
Bins sit directly beneath a first-floor escape window on the only protected route out of the block. Raising to high risk. Relocation required before the next review, not within six months.
An example of an assessor override. Your version goes in the report. The original stays in the audit trail.

Your form, not a fixed one
Most tools hand you their template and expect you to adapt. Certshor gives you standard templates built on PAS 79 and BS 9991, and a full form builder on Pro when you would rather work to your own methodology.

It assesses, not just tidies
Certshor not only organises your notes, it rates the risk and cites the regulation, then hands you the controls. You get a real head start, and you stay in charge of it.

Filed under the right heading. Still your call, your wording, your clause to find.
