Preparing for and managing a safety inspection can be a real challenge. Between gathering documents, verifying technical systems, and preparing for site visits, safety managers often have to juggle a multitude of time-consuming tasks. The solution? Switch to a digital safety register. In this article, we will explore in detail how Deemply transforms the management of safety inspections, simplifying both their preparation and execution.
The challenges of safety inspections
The role of the safety commission
It is important to understand thatsafety commissions play a crucial role in fire safety risk prevention. Their goal is to assess during safety inspection visits whether the safety level of public access buildings (ERP), high-rise buildings (IGH), or workplaces (ERT) complies with the standards required to ensure the safety of people, property, and the environment.
The main missions of safety commissions:
- Verify compliance of installations. During visits, commission members will randomly test safety devices to ensure they are in good working order. Equipment that may be tested includes, for example: alarm systems, smoke extraction devices, fire hose reels, or fire extinguishers.
- Verify staff training. Regarding fire safety, it is mandatory for staff to undergo various training sessions. These must be recorded in the safety register.
- Examine documentation related to installations and service provider interventions. During the safety commission visit, service provider intervention reports are requested to verify that equipment checks have been performed and that any potential issues have been addressed.
- Issue a favorable or unfavorable opinion based on the establishment's safety level. At the end of the visit, the commission members will issue an opinion on the establishment, which serves as a report on the building's safety status. This document, provided to you, is called the commission minutes (PV). Three opinions are possible: favorable, favorable with requirements, and unfavorable (this opinion always includes requirements). Requirements are the malfunctions identified during the visit that must be addressed by the operator or safety manager. If the safety level is significantly inadequate, the safety commission may even decide to close the establishment until the safety level becomes satisfactory.
The negative impacts of paper safety registers during safety inspections
Traditional safety register management, which is still too widespread, makes safety inspections difficult for several reasons:
Scattered documents
In paper format, the safety register and technical reports are often stored in different locations, sometimes very far apart, which complicates their collection when needed urgently.
Risk of error
Oversights during updates, lost documents, and human error are common. This human factor can distort the information provided to safety commission members. Ultimately, this can impact the decision rendered and put you in a difficult position later on.
Lack of traceability
If information is unavailable or inaccurate, it is difficult to verify who modified or signed a document. In the event of an incident, this can call into question the involvement and liability of the facility manager, leading to serious consequences.
In any case, it is important to remember that all inspections carried out by safety commissions are intended to verify that fire prevention measures are compliant. To gain peace of mind during these often stressful days, it is essential to switch to a digital safety register like the one offered by Deemply.
The solution for being proactive during safety inspections: a digital safety register
By choosing to use the Deemply tool to digitize your safety register, you will eliminate all the constraints associated with paper formats. The various features that make up our solution will greatly simplify your daily routine. Let's look at how each element has been designed for you as a safety professional.
Centralization and accessibility of documents
By opting for a digital safety register, you will be able to centralize all your documents. Intervention reports, certificates, maintenance logs, and more—all information is available on a single platform.
All information is available in real time. As long as you have an internet connection, you can view all the information for your site. Whether using a computer, tablet, or smartphone, all three devices allow you to access your site information.
As soon as information is entered, it is recorded and stored securely, which eliminates the risk of loss or accidental destruction. Imagine a flood occurring in your buildings. With paper documents, your entire history would be lost. With Deemply, your data will always be accessible. The same applies in the event of a fire or any other incident.
Automatic scheduling of obligations
One of the main advantages of the Deemply tool is that it gives you the ability to automatically schedule various items, for example:
- Regulatory inspections such as checks on technical installations, safety equipment inspections, etc.
- Interventions by your service providers, once you have entered a frequency for your interventions, as soon as one is closed, another is automatically scheduled, taking into account the previously entered information.
- Mandatory training and refresher courses for your staff. All training sessions are automatically recorded and scheduled according to the fields you previously indicated.
Real-time monitoring of interventions
Your service providers can, from a dedicated environment, sign off on interventions and the safety register directly on-site. This electronic signature also allows for remote signing if necessary and for uploading reports very easily in just a few clicks. By simplifying the signing of the safety register, you will benefit in several ways:
- The traceability of actions taken is complete.
- You have immediate visibility of overdue interventions and can follow up with your service providers without having to write an email.
- You can instantly see observations made by your service providers and thus carry out the necessary interventions to resolve them.
Optimized management of staff training
Safety is not just about equipment, it also depends on the human factor and therefore on staff skills. This is why training is essential and mandatory for fire safety. All such training must be recorded in the safety register. A digital version allows you to:
- Track and schedule all training sessions.
- Store training certificates and various attendance sheets.
- Generate a prevention passport in two clicks for each employee.

Preparing for safety inspections with a digital register
As previously explained, preparing for safety inspections is greatly simplified when you use a digital safety register.
Shared access and information summaries
With the Deemply tool, you can share a summary of your site with members of the safety commission. Sending the clickable PDF generated directly from your Deemply space in advance will help you shorten the inspection time, as all members will be able to review the necessary information beforehand.
You can email your summary and, if needed, present a printed version or project it on the day of the safety commission visit.
Effective tracking of requirements and observations
As we have seen, requirements issued by the safety commission must be addressed. With a digital version, you can create the necessary work orders to resolve all identified issues in just two clicks. You can then track the progress of corrective actions in real time. This digital tracking will allow you to present all completed interventions to the next safety commission to show that their requirements have been met.
