Start from the standard, then make it your own.

Every account gets a fire risk assessment template designed around PAS 79-⁠1 and BS 9792. On Pro, you add your own sections and questions beside it, or build the form you already use from scratch.

Published templates are versioned, never overwritten

The library you start from.

Add your own sections to any of this, on Pro

Your questions, alongside ours.

Certshor's library is read-only. You extend it rather than edit it, so the standard stays standard. Anything you add is private to your company and sits in the same panel, on its own tab.

What a question of yours carries

A type

Yes / no, or free text. Yes / no questions are the ones Certshor evaluates.

Helper text

Sits under the question on site, for whoever is doing the walk-round.

Defaults you can override

Whether it is required, carries a comment box, and offers a not-applicable answer. Each template can override all three.

An AI hint

Five to ten keywords or legislation references, used to build a targeted query for that question. Left blank on anything non-technical.

Custom sections, custom questions and the form builder are on Pro. Every plan can run the standard template.

The Add Questions panel in Certshor: a search box, Certshor and Company tabs, and the standard question library with each question's answer type.

One section sets the scene for all the others.

Context, carried through the whole assessment.

Every template names exactly one context section. It is the one that captures the site and the building.

Your assessor fills it in like any other section, but it is not sent off to be evaluated. Its answers are attached as background when every other section is assessed, so a verdict on a stairwell is reached knowing what kind of building the stairwell is in.

The template builder naming its context section: three sections listed, with Site & Building Information selected and marked CONTEXT.

Published, then versioned.

Once a template is published it is read-only. Changing it means creating a new version, which leaves every assessment already signed off on exactly the form it was done on.

  1. v1Retired

    The form the assessments signed off last year were built on. Still exactly as it was.

  2. v2Published

    What every new assessment picks up today. Read-only, so nobody edits the live form by accident.

  3. v3Draft

    Your changes in progress. Nothing moves until you publish it.
