Paper safety logs vs. digital safety logs

Maintaining one or more paper logs can quickly become unmanageable, if not disastrous. Paper safety logs, poorly kept binders, loose sheets, missing or outdated documents, or simply having to track multiple logs if you are a Single Safety Manager (RUS) or a multi-site facility manager, can be a nightmare for facility managers and safety officers.

The limitations of paper safety logs

By its very nature, the paper safety log (also known as a safety record book) presents both significant physical obstacles and major management constraints. It unnecessarily complicates your processes and hinders the administration of your fire safety.

As a physical medium, your facility's safety log requires:

• Travel, sometimes to one or more sites, for consultation or updates.
• Regulatory monitoring to ensure compliance with the law and fire safety standards.
• Multiple points of contact to ensure follow-up and cover absences (vacations, departures, etc.).
• Additional tools: drafting procedures, maintaining dashboards, schedules, etc.
• Very rigorous tracking with constant updates, without task automation: organizing safety committee inspections, managing service providers and subcontractors, scheduling inspection visits, resolving observations and requirements, presenting the log in the event of an incident, etc.
