Fire protection and inventory are closely linked

Inventory - Indispensable in fire protection

Fire protection measures are crucial for companies in order to protect employees, customers, property and business operations. Companies should therefore be well prepared for potential fire hazards so that they can react appropriately in an emergency. Inventory and fire protection are closely related, even if not immediately obvious, especially in commercial and industrial environments as well as in public facilities.

Fire protection and inventory are closely linked

In Germany, there are a large number of legal regulations that govern fire protection measures in companies - these include building regulations that clarify the structural fire protection of buildings as well as requirements for the safe operation of systems and work equipment, in particular regulations on firefighting and safety in the event of a fire. It is important for companies to know the relevant legal regulations on fire protection and to ensure that the fire protection measures taken comply with these regulations. Non-compliance can lead to significant fire hazards, emergency situations and accidents and can also have legal consequences, including fines, operating bans and liability claims.

In order to meet these requirements, a precise inventory helps to identify potential fire risks, among other things. For example, certain types of materials or equipment can pose an increased fire risk. Using inventory lists, such risks can be easily identified and appropriate fire protection measures can be taken. In addition, an inventory also helps to determine the fire load by providing information on the quantity and type of materials and equipment present in the building. In general, the higher the fire load, the higher the risk of a rapid outbreak of fire. Careful inventorying allows measures to be taken to reduce the fire load and thus minimize the risk.

Furthermore, information from the inventory can be helpful when planning the placement of fire protection equipment such as fire alarms, fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems. Placed in the right strategic locations and taken into account in emergency plans, it is possible to intervene quickly in the event of a fire and prevent the spread of the fire or carry out an evacuation more quickly.

An inventory can of course also be used to create maintenance and inspection plans for fire safety equipment to ensure it is in good working order. By regularly checking these facilities, electrical installations, heating and cooling systems, storage and work areas, IT equipment and flammable materials, potential problems can be identified and rectified at an early stage, significantly increasing the effectiveness of fire protection.

Everything in view with the right software

With the right software, companies in all sectors can log, document and manage all inventories, such as work equipment, furniture, IT equipment and fire protection facilities.

The inventory software from Hoppe Management Consultants, for example, offers numerous advantages in inventorying in order to professionally handle the flood of information in inventory management.

It is possible to determine at a glance how much office furniture, computers, notebooks, software, printers, monitors, machines, fire protection equipment, devices, vehicles etc. of what type are available in the company and where these inventory items are located. Room plans and floor plans can be captured as images and the inventories can be assigned to them, which also facilitates the creation of emergency and evacuation plans and is useful for corresponding fire protection measures.

The inventory software makes it easy and intuitive to quickly compile, process, find and evaluate the extensive information that is relevant in the context of the respective inventory. All inventory items can be quickly recorded in predefined input fields and barcode-supported via app and smartphone or barcode scanner, using barcode or QR code inventory labels and RFID tags.

As the software can also be used on smartphones or tablets, it is easy to add images, operating instructions, invoices or manuals as file attachments while recording the inventory or afterwards. Each inventory has its own history - movements and changes to the inventory can therefore be documented and monitored. All information is stored centrally in the system with interfaces to ERP systems such as SAP, SAGE, FIBU, facility management software or accounting, which ensures that all responsible persons have access at all times.

In practice, companies often underestimate the time and cost involved in recording office equipment. Inventory software is very helpful here, as the German Commercial Code requires companies to carry out an annual inventory of office furniture and IT equipment in order to obtain an overview of assets. With a very high number of inventory items, the inventory is often much more comprehensive than initially thought.

With the inventory software from Hoppe Management Consultants, companies of all sizes and from all sectors are always up to date and on the safe side thanks to regular updates. The optional inventory software workshop gives interested parties a quick introduction to the functionality and use of the inventory software and provides new impetus for direct implementation with the application and optimization options in the company.
