Fire risk assessment software for consultants
A fire risk assessment under the Fire Safety Order records significant findings in writing, sets out actions and keeps arrangements under review. Lytom Assess structures that work: a premises profile, a control by control assessment, a document audit and a branded PDF issued to the client's portal.

Each part of the assessment has its place
The structure follows common practice under the Fire Safety Order and PAS 79, including the residential duties added by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022.
Site details
Address, contacts, building use and scope. Fields are switched on or off so the PDF matches the instruction.
Premises profile
Occupation and persons at risk, construction and height, cladding, means of escape, detection, emergency lighting, smoke control, management arrangements and legislation references.
Assessment
Fire safety controls worked through category by category, marked compliant or action required, with photographs attached to findings and saved comments reused.
Hazards and actions
Hazard descriptions, risk levels and recommended corrective actions. Drafting assistance is available; the assessor reviews and signs off before issue.
Document audit
Fire certificates, maintenance records, test logs and management plans checked against the required document types, including documents the client has uploaded to their portal.
Review and issue
A review flags gaps before the client sees the report. The branded PDF is previewed and issued to the client's portal with its actions.
Annual reviews without duplicated actions
The previous fire risk assessment for a site is loaded, and compliant controls and the document baseline are carried forward. Previous hazards are held in their own tab until the assessor chooses to bring them back, so an annual revisit does not duplicate old actions.
Lytom Assess is where the assessment is carried out and issued. If the client uses Lytom Comply, their fire log, fire door inspections and hot work permits sit alongside the assessment, and the actions raised are tracked there until closed.
Guide: how to write a fire risk assessment under the Fire Safety Order and Building Safety ActFrequently asked questions
What is fire risk assessment software?
Software that structures the written fire risk assessment: premises, hazards, controls, significant findings, actions and the issued report. Lytom Assess provides this on iOS and web for consultants.
Does Lytom Assess follow PAS 79?
The workflow maps to the five step PAS 79 approach and includes a detailed premises profile. PAS 79 is guidance rather than statute, and professional judgement and sign off remain with the competent assessor.
Can I complete assessments on site?
Yes. The iOS app or a browser is used on site, and the branded PDF is issued when ready.
How do clients receive the report?
The issued PDF appears in the client's Lytom Comply portal with its open actions.
What is the difference between Lytom Assess and Lytom Comply for fire safety?
Lytom Assess issues the fire risk assessment. Lytom Comply is where the responsible person keeps the fire log, fire door inspections, permits and action closure.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Lytom Assess has a 7 day free trial. The subscription can be cancelled at any time.
