Construction phase fire plan and fire risk assessment templates
Fire on a construction site is a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order and CDM 2015, and an insurer's condition under the Joint Code of Practice, which most contracts write into the policy. The Joint Code expects a fire risk assessment, a fire plan, a fire marshal and a hot works system to be on site and to be shown. These are those documents, written so a site manager can complete them from the design fire strategy and the insurer's letter without inventing anything.
10 documents, one price each. Helmet colours vary from site to site. This is a common convention, not a legal standard.
Written for this
10 documents — the fire risk assessment, the fire plan, and the checks that sit under them.
The permit and the fire watch certificate are on sale already and are cross-referenced; nothing here duplicates them.

Legal basis
What these documents are built on.
Printed on the forms themselves, so you and whoever reviews your submission are reading the same references. Law and guidance are kept apart, because they are not the same thing.

- Joint Code of Practice, Fire Prevention on Construction Sites, 10th edition (2022) incorporating Amendment 2 2025
HSE guidance, British Standards and industry codes are not statute and carry no force in themselves — they are the standard the document is built to. And citing an instrument is not the same as satisfying it: what discharges the duty is a competent person in your business assessing this job and completing the document properly.
Our one rule
We will not tell you this makes you compliant.
No template can. HSE says it of its own examples: “Do not just copy an example and put your company name to it as that would not satisfy the law and would not protect your employees.” SSIP assessors want risk assessments written for a specific project within the last twelve months, and a generic document with your logo on it is unlikely to pass, whoever sold it to you.
What you are buying is the structure and the prompts — every section the law and HSE guidance expect the document to address, with the reference beside it. The judgement stays yours.
Why we don’t say “compliant”Before you buy
Will the main contractor accept it?
No template can promise that, and we won’t. It is written from the approving side of the desk, but your competent person adapts it to the job and signs it off. That step is what makes it yours.
Is VAT included in the price?
No. Prices are ex VAT; VAT is added at checkout.
What format is it?
A fillable PDF with a tooltip on every field. Or complete it online: type your site once and it downloads finished, with your logo on every page.
What happens when the law changes?
Every source is re-checked monthly. A change that matters raises a revision, and you get it free.
Is it a subscription?
No. Pay once. No subscription, no login, no expiry.
