Health & Safety
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order puts the duty on a responsible person, and that name belongs on the assessment. Gaffer records the premises, the hazards, who is at risk, the measures already in place and the actions still outstanding — with a review date that does not quietly lapse.
No credit card required · One platform · Web & Android (iOS coming soon)
One assessment per premises, structured the way the Fire Safety Order expects, with the actions tracked rather than listed.
The premises, its type and the named responsible person sit on the assessment, so the duty holder is documented rather than assumed.
The four things an assessment has to establish are captured separately: fire hazards, persons at risk, the measures already in place and the actions still required.
Whether an evacuation plan exists, whether drills have been conducted and the date of the last one — so 'we do drills' becomes a date you can point at.
Fire risk assessments live with your sites, evacuation drills and compliance records in one platform.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person for any non-domestic premises — including the common parts of blocks of flats — must ensure a suitable and sufficient assessment is carried out and kept up to date. Gaffer is where you record it and keep the review date visible.
No. Gaffer structures and stores it. The judgement about hazards and adequacy of measures is yours or your assessor's — what Gaffer removes is the risk of that judgement living in a Word document nobody can find.
Yes. Drills are recorded separately with their own dates and outcomes, and the assessment records whether drills have been conducted and when the last one was, so the two stay consistent.
Actions required are recorded on the assessment and the overall status reflects them, so an assessment with open actions does not read the same as one that is fully closed out.
