Revolutionary compliance technology company announces new fire safety product


Revolutionary compliance technology company announces new fire safety product


"Fire Door is the result of us listening to what our clients want and using our technology to support them to achieve their compliance and safety goals."
Peter Luke, Commercial Director at Gas Tag



Gas Tag, the technology company that is revolutionising gas compliance in the housing sector, has announced that it is set to launch a new fire safety product. 

 

Known as Fire Door, the new product has been developed in response to interest from housing providers who are looking for support in managing the changing recommendations around fire safety. 

 

Fire Door is an extension of the current Gas Tag technology. A physical tag is placed in a property and tracks all of the fire door inspections and servicing work. This data is then fed into an online portal for landlords to monitor data. 

 

However, the important role this new product can play in supporting housing providers with their fire door process can not be underestimated. 

 

Evidence obtained and published in the recent Phase 1 report of the Grenfell Enquiry revealed that ineffective fire doors allowed ‘smoke and toxic gases to spread through the building more quickly than should have been possible’.  This has led to The Rt Hon Sir Martin Moore-Bick to recommend that managers carry out inspections on fire doors no less than every three months. 

 

Gas Tag has incorporated the recommendations from the recently published Phase 1 of the Grenfell Tower Enquiry into the workflow for Fire Door, along with best practice guidance. 

 

Once in use, Fire Door will allow housing providers to effectively manage inspections and collate and report accurately on important fire safety data. 

 

Peter Luke, Commercial Director at Gas Tag, said: “Fire Door is the result of us listening to what our clients want and using our technology to support them to achieve their compliance and safety goals.

 

“Gas Tag revolutionised the housing sector by standardising the gas servicing workflow through our mobile app. We have replicated this approach with Fire Door, creating a process that will prompt the inspector to follow best practice, answer relevant inspection questions and take photographic evidence of the door.

 

“All of this information will be sent in real-time to the provider’s portal and stored, giving them full visibility on the condition of their fire doors and the ability to carry out desktop audits.

 

“We have had really positive feedback on Fire Door from our clients so far and we are excited to roll it out to the sector.”

 

Currently, Gas Tag is used to support housing providers with their gas compliance. Once installed on the gas inlet within a home, Gas Tag tracks all the property’s gas appliances, installations and services, providing data in real-time back to the landlord or provider via an online portal. Engineers fill in the information using the app which can only be used by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.

 

Fire Door is set to launch to the market next month. For more information or to register interest in Fire Door visit www.gastag.co.uk.
