Fire Safety Logbook: FireBook

FireBook is a fire safety logbook for the person responsible for a building.

It keeps the recurring duties in one place, works out what is due and when, and

keeps the records ready to share when they are needed.

WHAT IT DOES

• This Week board — with every due or overdue duty on one screen

• Call point rotation — under BS 5839-1, weekly testing commonly rotates through

a different manual call point. FireBook tracks which points have been covered,

tells you which one is up this week, and shows the weeks where no test was

recorded

• Guided fire door checks, including gaps, seals, closers, hinges, leaf and

glazing, and signage — plus emergency lighting flick and duration tests,

extinguisher visual checks and services, drills and staff training

• Defect register — a failed check raises a defect that stays open until you

record the action taken, with the date and who did it

• Asset registers — call points, emergency lights, fire doors and extinguishers,

each with its reference, location, photo and service dates

• Year ledger — a 52 week view of the weekly alarm test, so a missed week is

visible instead of buried in a list

• Inspector Pack — one PDF with the duty history, the rotation record, the asset

registers and the defect log, ready to hand over or email

• Accident book — record injuries to staff, visitors and contractors, with the

first aid given, witnesses and time off normal duties

• RIDDOR day counter — when someone is off normal duties, FireBook counts the

days the way RIDDOR counts them and flags the point where a report to HSE may

be due, with the deadline measured from the date of the accident

• Reminders for any duty, set to the day and time that suits the building

• Works offline. Your records are kept on your device.

WHO IT IS FOR

For landlords, managing agents, block caretakers, premises officers and small

business owners who keep fire safety records.

In England, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require quarterly checks

of communal fire doors in relevant multi-occupied residential buildings over 11

metres. FireBook schedules that alongside everything else.

WHAT IT IS NOT

FireBook keeps fire safety records and helps you spot due and overdue checks. It

does not assess fire risk, certify compliance, or replace the advice of a

competent person or a fire risk assessor. It does not decide whether an incident

is reportable under RIDDOR and it does not report anything to HSE. The duties and intervals it suggests

are common UK defaults — the correct ones for your building come from its fire

risk assessment.
