Record the safety checks your building needs, and prove you did them. BuildingSafe keeps a log of fire alarm tests, emergency lighting, fire doors, drills and risk assessments - plus anything else your building needs checking, from CCTV to meter readings. Set a check to repeat weekly, monthly or annually and logging it moves the next one on automatically. * See at a glance what is overdue * Log a check in two taps while you are standing at the panel * Works without a signal - entries send themselves when you are back online * Get a reminder when something falls due * Every entry keeps its date, outcome, details and who recorded it * Export or print the lot when an inspector asks Used to keep community halls, scout huts and small commercial buildings compliant. BuildingSafe records the checks you carry out. It is not a substitute for a fire risk assessment or any other statutory inspection.

Verdict
