What’s New

Flexible Responsibility Assignment Risk Management Software Solutions Risk Management Software Solutions

The Responsible Person / PAP and Manager / AP fields can now be assigned to a named individual, a group (such as “Building Safety Manager Team”), or free text such as a company name or job title — not just a single system user.

This addresses a common challenge in the residential sector: recording accountability in a way that is both legally meaningful and GDPR-compliant. Organisations can now choose what appears on published reports (for example, a role or team name) while retaining full internal traceability.

Building Emergency Evacuation Plans (BEEP) Risk Management Software Solutions

In preparation for the Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations commencing 6 April 2026, Risk Warden now includes full BEEP support through the Resident Portal.

Each resident is automatically assigned an evacuation status — Red (Assisted Only), Amber (Unassisted Slow), or Green (Unassisted Normal) — based on their declared vulnerabilities. Building Safety Managers can override this where needed, with a full audit trail.

Residents and managers can also record designated buddies (name, contact, and relationship) to assist during an evacuation, along with consent for data sharing with the Fire and Rescue Service.

Two downloadable PDF reports are available at the building level:

  • SIB Version — A single-page, data-protection-safe summary for Secure Information Boxes. Shows evacuation status and broad impairment categories only, with no names or contact details.
  • Full Version — A detailed report with individual PEEP sheets for every red and amber resident, including buddy details, risk responses, and evacuation routes. Sections can be tailored on download.

Both reports sort residents by evacuation priority.
