Who this template is for
Fire Safety Inspection Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in facilities & property management.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 26 questions across 4 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 17 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 6 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

- Features conditional validation: if “Did the alarm sound correctly?” is No, “Describe the alarm fault and who was informed” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Number of emergency lighting fittings that failed” is greater than 0, “Which fittings failed” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Were any escape routes obstructed?” is Yes, “What was obstructing the route” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Were any escape routes obstructed?” is Yes, “Who cleared it and at what time” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Any extinguisher defects found?” is Yes, “Which extinguishers and what was wrong” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Any fire door defects found?” is Yes, “Which doors and what was wrong” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 6 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How often should the alarm be tested?
Weekly is the common standard, using a different call point each week so every device is proved over the cycle.
Does this replace a fire risk assessment?
No. This is the routine testing and inspection record. The fire risk assessment is a separate document produced by a competent assessor.
What if the alarm fails the test?
The form requires a description and the name of who was informed. Treat it as an immediate escalation, not a logbook entry.
Should I record emergency light failures individually?
Yes — the fitting references question exists for that. A count alone gives the electrician nowhere to start.
Who should sign the record?
The person carrying out the check, countersigned by the responsible person if they are different.
Is the Fire Safety Inspection Form template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Fire Safety Inspection Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
What does the Fire Safety Inspection Form template ask for?
