Its platform helps businesses and fire risk assessors manage fire safety responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (England and Wales), the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and related UK fire safety legislation. FireVault operates as a dual-product platform: 1. **FireVault Compliance** — Fire safety management software for businesses to manage fire risk assessments, inspections, compliance actions, training, and reporting across single or multiple premises. 2. **FireVault Connect** — A verified marketplace connecting businesses with competent, vetted fire risk assessors and fire safety professionals across the UK. The platform is designed for UK compliance frameworks and references authoritative guidance including: - Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO 2005) - Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 - PAS 79:2020 (Fire risk assessment — Guidance and a recommended methodology) - HM Government fire safety guidance documents - National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) guidance - Local fire and rescue service guidance --- ## FireVault Compliance — Fire Safety Management Software ### Core Capabilities FireVault Compliance provides digital tools for managing the full fire safety compliance lifecycle: - **Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) Builder** — A structured, PAS-79 compliant assessment builder used by fire risk assessors to produce systematic fire risk assessments. Supports new assessments and annual reviews, with remote and in-person review methods. - **Inspection Scheduling and Recording** — Automated scheduling of routine fire safety checks (weekly, monthly, quarterly, biannual, annual) based on premises type, size, and installed facilities. Checks include fire alarm panel tests, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, fire doors, evacuation routes, sprinkler systems, AOV/smoke control, dry/wet risers, and more. - **Premises-Driven Inspection Engine** — The platform allocates inspection checks based on the specific premises type (office, shop, warehouse, factory, hotel, care home, school, HMO, purpose-built flats, etc.), building characteristics (height, storeys, occupancy), and installed facilities (sprinklers, AOV, EVC, evacuation chairs, dry risers, firefighting lift, etc.). This avoids generic checklists and ensures only relevant checks are allocated. - **Compliance Actions and Significant Findings** — When inspections or risk assessments identify issues, FireVault creates tracked compliance actions with priority levels, target dates, and evidence approval workflows. Significant findings are given unique reference numbers and tracked through a lifecycle: outstanding → assigned → awaiting completion → evidence submitted → awaiting approval → resolved. - **Evidence Management** — GPS-tagged photo evidence, digital signatures, and document storage for compliance records. - **Training Tracking** — Records of staff fire safety training (fire warden, evacuation, extinguisher use, fire awareness, etc.) with expiry tracking and certification management. - **Compliance Document Generation** — Automated generation of fire safety policies, emergency plans, fire procedures, and other compliance documents. - **Board-Ready Reporting** — Compliance performance dashboards and audit-ready reports for management and board reporting. - **Multi-Premises Portfolio Management** — Manage fire safety compliance across unlimited premises from a single dashboard. ### High-Rise Residential Compliance FireVault includes specific support for high-rise residential buildings (18m+ or 7+ storeys) under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, including: -
