The Golden Thread, Kept Intact.
Baselign gives fire safety contractors and responsible persons a continuous, auditable record of every alarm test, extinguisher service and emergency lighting check.
What The Regulations Require
Fire safety in England and Wales is governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which places duties on a 'responsible person' to manage fire risk. Servicing frequencies are set by the relevant British Standard for each system — including BS 5839 for fire alarms, BS 5306 for portable extinguishers and BS 5266 for emergency lighting. Since the Building Safety Act 2022, higher-risk buildings must also maintain a 'golden thread' — a continuous, accurate digital record of fire and structural safety information kept up to date throughout the building's life.
Where Compliance Breaks Down
The recurring pain points teams in this space run into without a single system of record.
Proving the golden thread
Producing a continuous, accurate safety record on demand is difficult when servicing history is split across paper certificates and old spreadsheets.
Mixed servicing frequencies
Alarms, extinguishers and emergency lighting each follow a different British Standard and servicing interval, and tracking them separately by hand is error-prone.
Responsible-person accountability
The named responsible person needs evidence that fire safety duties are actually being met — not just a filing cabinet of old paperwork.
Multi-site portfolio visibility
Facilities teams managing many buildings need a single view of compliance status, not a site-by-site manual check.
Everything You Need, In One Platform
From day-to-day job management through to compliance, training and billing.
Work Orders
PPM scheduling for alarm, extinguisher and emergency lighting servicing, each following its own British Standard interval.
Forms & Inspections
Digital inspection checklists structured to match BS 5839, BS 5306 and BS 5266 requirements.
Asset Management
A per-device, per-site register of every fire safety asset under contract, with full service history.
Client Access
Responsible persons get golden-thread-ready portal access to their building's complete fire safety record.
AI Automation
Flags non-conformances automatically and schedules the re-inspection needed to close them out.
Team Training & Compliance
Tracks engineer competency mapped to FIA and BAFE accreditation for the work they're assigned.
Client Billing
Converts completed servicing contracts into invoices automatically.
Mobile Device Management
Keeps engineers' vans and test equipment tracked and secure from a central view.
A Typical Workflow
A servicing visit is scheduled automatically against the relevant British Standard interval for each asset.
The engineer completes a digital inspection checklist on-site, covering alarms, extinguishers or emergency lighting as required.
Any failed check automatically raises a follow-up work order for remedial action.
The completed record is added to the building's golden thread, visible to the responsible person through their portal.
