Fire risk management is an integral part of owning any commercial business and it goes without saying that fire safety is crucial when it comes to housing associations.
Housing associations have legal requirements to ensure reasonable fire safety standards in their homes and must protect the health and safety of residents and take all reasonable steps to prevent and control the risk from fire.
Every home within a housing association must meet building regulations and fire safety requirements.
Managing multiple locations
However, due to the complex nature of managing multiple locations within a housing association, fire safety can be a mammoth task to take on.
That’s why Total Fire Group developed its own fire risk management software that can greatly benefit commercial outfits that have to manage different locations, all with their unique challenges.
Fire safety
With access to such vital data, it’s easy to see ahead of time what one needs to do
With an easy to understand and complete picture of all their current, completed, and pending fire management tasks, their fire risk management dashboard leverages data visualization tools to present users with easily digestible and actionable information they can use to assign tasks, and reduce risk to life and property.
With access to such vital data, it’s easy to see ahead of time what one needs to do. This allows users to better optimize their time, effort, and resources meaning they are spending less time on fire safety assessments and more time growing the margins – without ever compromising on fire safety.
Unique floor plans
It’s possible to seamlessly upload and manipulate technical floor plans and unique building layouts and because of the fire management software’s user interface (UI) assessors are able to mark precise locations on the floor plans for further investigation and recommendations.
This means fire risks are always communicated clearly and contractors can locate tasks quickly and efficiently. Their fire risk management software lets users see their current fire risk assessment tasks all in one place. It maps these tasks against the people completing them and lets the user know the progress of each one.
Dashboard
The dashboard can also be used to re-allocate tasks and distribute FRA jobs to internal or external contractors. Updates to the client’s dashboard are forwarded to the relevant parties in real time for complete transparency and efficiency.
Over the last 15 years, Total Fire Group has built an unrivaled reputation as one of the major fire safety consultants within the housing sector, working with multiple housing associations across the North West of the UK.
They have been working with large housing associations since 2008, conducting FRAs on their property portfolios, and repeating the process in most cases annually. Put simply, they understand how housing works from a fire risk perspective.
