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
Recurring work orders for alarm, extinguisher and emergency lighting servicing, each set to the interval its British Standard calls for and created for you overnight.

Team Documents & Training
Keep engineer competency and accreditation documents on file with a compliance flag and expiry date, and see Compliant or Non-compliant at a glance.
Client Billing
Built to order for Enterprise teams: turns completed servicing visits into client invoices, shaped around how you charge for fire safety contracts.
Mobile Device Management
Built to order for Enterprise teams: keeps the devices your engineers carry secure and managed from one central view.
A Typical Workflow
A recurring servicing work order is created for you on the interval set for each system, with the client, site, forms and assets carried across.
The engineer completes a digital inspection checklist on-site, covering alarms, extinguishers or emergency lighting as required.
A failed check is recorded on the form, and the follow-up is raised as a work order and assigned for remedial action.
The completed record is stored with the work order and the asset history, exportable as PDF, and the responsible person can download it from their dashboard.
