Do We Really Need Software To Manage Fire Risk? – ACMS UK

“To be the best we can be and to operate in a commercial market where we set standards and goals that are not just a matter of compliance but because we can make lives safer, better, easier… surely that’s what we should all be aiming for?” argues Managing Director of ACMS UK, Steve Aldridge.

As the MD of a risk compliance software company whose goal it is to help commercial organisations reach and maintain legal conformity when it comes to health and safety, including fire of course, he might find that a little easier to achieve than most.

But is there a genuine need for software to help manage fire risk? ‘No, not always… and especially if you only have a small operation. As long as your system is robust, you have a responsible person operating and reviewing it on a regular basis, a paper-based system can do the job just as well. Where software comes into its own is in keeping all your data and information together, in one secure place. It’s also invaluable in helping with the managing of multiple sites, bigger organisations or when a number of layers of management are involved with the maintaining of premises.’

The benefits of Vision Fire Risk software are tenfold, but one of its biggest attributes is transparency. Via the portfolio dashboard, any staff or service member, contractor or assessor (in-house or sub-contracted) can be made responsible for/engaged by the organisation to carry out an audit or inspection, update the data via the Vision Mobile App and that dashboard immediately reflects the status of the premises (single or multiple sites) with regards to its fire risk. It’s not information contained in a document, it is live data… available and accessible immediately.
