The humble fire logbook, a critical link in the safety of millions of UK buildings, will take centre stage at a webinar on February 23rd, when figures from the fire and property industries come together to discuss its increasing importance amid rapidly evolving fire legislation, regulations and best practice.

Hosted by Fire Safety Matters the online panel discussion, which will include experts from: LTL Systems a life safety systems install and maintenance company; Scott Castle, a property management company; and digital fire records software specialist, Tio Fire Safety. They will discuss the benefits of the modern digital alternative to the paper logbook, Tio’s own true digital fire logbook, which can have transformative benefits for fire safety, facilities and compliance professionals.

The webinar is free to attend and registration is open at https://events.streamgo.live/importance-of-digital-fire-logbooks-23-feb-at-1030am/register.

“Logbooks play a central role in compliance and safety management and there has never been a better time to discuss their evolving role,” said Jason Hill, sales manager for Tio Fire Safety. “Our aim is to bring together views from across the industry. The one thing I’m sure all speakers will agree on is that the traditional paper logbook is no longer fit for purpose, and that only a digital alternative can offer real visibility and management of fire safety compliance from single properties to portfolios of thousands. Whether you’re thinking of new software or are frustrated by the lack of visibility and trust your paper records deliver, I’m sure it will be a useful and informative discussion and Q&A.”

Cloud-based and permitted under BS5839-1, Tio’s true digital fire logbook is priced and designed to replace a range of paper logbooks, and is pre-configured to bring together a huge number of fire, safety and security topics in one place. It is quick to set up and as easy to use as paper, solves a multitude of issues and radically improves safety, relationships and compliance for all parties, including the building occupier, service provider, risk assessor, installer, commissioning engineers and emergency services.
