FireRisk solution launched to help improve public safety
Airwave has announced it has developed new technology that will enable fire crews to be better informed at incidents they attend. The technology has been designed in partnership with SEED Software.
FireRisk is a mobile information application that enables fire & rescue services to have up-to-date information on building risks at incidents by carrying out more proactive risk assessment checks on premises, and to do so with greater accuracy. It is designed to improve working practices by replacing existing paper-based processes for handling risk and fire checks.
FireRisk enables instant updating of premises records and the scheduling of regular checks. As a result, these tasks can be managed more accurately and effectively – the information is easily audited and the number of fire safety inspections fire officers can undertake can be increased. The solution is intuitive, easy to use and runs on compact hand-held devices which will collate and update routine and critical information even when not connected to a network, automatically synchronising with central systems once within range of a suitable network.
Malcolm Eastwoood, Airwave’s fire and civil resilience advisor, said: “FireRisk is an innovative solution which supports the fire and rescue services in their quest to be proactive in the prevention of incidents. It was developed following suggestions from our fire customers who wanted a better method of planning, carrying out and auditing fire safety and risk checks.”
