Fire safety in hospitals

Your hospital fire safety service, in order ward by ward.

For companies providing fire safety services in healthcare facilities and for the managements that contract them out: NFC tag patrols in buildings and plant rooms, checks on fire safety equipment, a covered team on every shift and a clear summary for the technical department.

What you get

Designed for a facility that works day and night

Patrols across wards and buildings

A route for each building, with its own tags and time windows, day and night. Patrols that run across midnight are counted on the right day.

Checks on fire safety equipment

Extinguishers, fire doors, hydrants, emergency lighting and escape routes, with the questions you choose for each type of check and a photo when needed.

A full team on every shift

Shift plan, cover and going on duty from the app. If a shift is left uncovered or someone is late going on duty, the office knows within seconds.

Issues through to resolution

A blocked fire door, a moved extinguisher: the issue report with a photo reaches the maintainer and stays open until it's resolved.

Urgent notes to the contact person

For each site you choose the person who always receives urgent notes, by email and on their phone.

The facility sees the service

The client has its own access: it views completed patrols, issue reports and reports for its own sites.

How it works

From the ward to the technical department

  1. 01

    A tag at every point

    Fit NFC tags next to extinguishers, fire doors, hydrants and switchboards, and link them to buildings and zones.

  2. 02

    Patrols and shifts

    Set up patrols with their time windows and the team's shift plan, even by importing it from Excel.

  3. 03

    In the field with a phone

    Staff hold the phone near the tag, answer the check's questions and report anything wrong with a photo, even in basements with no signal.

  4. 04

    Your summary is ready

    For each period and site you have the checks carried out, with date, time, point and operator, in PDF or Excel.

Your fire safety management system, documented

In Italy, DM 19 marzo 2015 requires healthcare facilities to have a fire safety management system, overseen by a technical manager. ePatrol keeps track of every patrol and every check with date, time, point and operator, and of issues until they're resolved: the manager has the period's data ready to view or export.

ePatrol works alongside the technical manager and the company providing the service: it organizes and documents the work, while the decisions remain theirs.

See how it works

A patrol, from start to send

Four simple steps, no training: here's what the operator sees on their phone.

  1. Hold the phone near the tagThe dot turns green: time and position are recorded, with nothing to type.
  2. Can't reach a point?Mark it in orange with a note and carry on. The office will know why.
  3. Confirm and sendBefore sending you see the summary: points read, not reached, still to do.
  4. It stays in the historyYou'll find it under “Sent patrols” and, within the time allowed, you can reopen and correct it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work in plant rooms and basements with no signal?

Yes. The app logs checks even offline and sends them on its own as soon as the signal is back, with the real time of each visit.

Can hospital management see the data without asking the contractor?

Yes. The client facility can have console access limited to its own sites, to view patrols, issue reports and reports whenever it wants.

Can I keep track of fire wardens' certificates?

Yes. For each person you record certificates and qualifications with their expiry date: the office gets an alert 30 days and 7 days before, and on expiry.

Do I need a guard tour reader or a dedicated device?

No. All you need is an iPhone or an NFC-enabled Android smartphone, personal or company-issued. NFC tags take minutes to fit.

Shall we see together how it can help you?

We'll show you ePatrol on your own sites and patrols, with no commitment.
