How does the Screener Work?

Our pre-screener algorithm highlights potential compliance gaps based on current UK fire safety legislation. As the Responsible Person, it evaluates your baseline risk across four critical areas:

  • Building Height & Structure: Assessing risk in line with the latest guidelines for high-rise and multi-occupied residential buildings.
  • Occupant Vulnerability: Factoring in whether occupants are awake, asleep, or require assistance to evacuate.
  • Assessment Validity: Determining if your current FRA is legally compliant, out of date, or missing entirely.
  • Safety Systems: A preliminary look at the maintenance of your fire doors, alarms, and emergency lighting.
If you own, manage, or operate a commercial premises or the communal areas of a residential building in the UK, you are legally required to have a valid Fire Risk Assessment in place. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties.
