Life Safety
in4mation can help organizations organize and disseminate emergency preparedness information to those who need it in the event of a disaster. Using software applications, we can leverage the facility information in a CAFM system to provide access to critical life safety plans, equipment, and procedures. Utilizing existing AutoCAD drawings as a base, life safety plans can be compiled to include egress plans, safe areas, pull stations, fire equipment, alarms, smoke detectors, defibrillators, and other emergency equipment. Floor plans can be accessed via web screens, and printed for display in public hallways and corridors. Integration with CAFM work order functionality and asset management capabilities allows building managers to maintain audit trails of maintenance performed on safety equipment, and schedule future preventative maintenance requirements.
An effective life safety plan supported by a CAFM system can help a facility manager:
- Keep egress plans up to date as floor plans change
- Identify impacts of space layout changes on life safety plans
- Identify and communicate safe areas
- Publish and print fire safety plans for display on walls
- Maintain fire and life safety equipment
- Integration with work order system
