In this episode we are joined by Jason Hill from Tio. Digital records play a crucial role in effective fire safety management, replacing traditional paper logbooks with digital versions. This not only improves efficiency but also ensures important records are not lost or misplaced. Asset management is another crucial aspect, allowing building owners to accurately track and manage their fire safety assets such as fire extinguishers and emergency lighting. Integration with other software through APIs is essential for developing a comprehensive and streamlined approach to fire safety management. However, the cost and accessibility of British Standards pose challenges to the industry, and a subscription-based model could provide a more affordable solution. Furthermore, the role of AI in fire safety is a growing area of interest, with the potential for AI systems to enhance automation, perform real-time CCTV analysis, and improve overall fire safety practices. Ultimately, the goal is to bridge the gap between current fire safety standards and the evolving technology in the industry.
