Taskmaster — A cloud-based fire safety app for businesses
Task Master is a proprietary software app that makes it simple for businesses and workplaces to meet their fire safety obligations in accordance with the Fire Services Act 1981 & 2003 and Safety, Health and Welfare Act at Work 2005.
The app saves businesses both time and money when it comes to fire checks. The system is completely paperless. All checks are conducted using a mobile device that is preloaded with the app. Once the checks are completed and signed off, all the data is stored in the cloud. This means that files can be accessed instantly.
Combined, all of these features drastically reduce the amount of admin required to stay on top of your fire safety obligations.

2. Book an Appointment
Now that you have opted to go with Task Master, we can start doing our job. Arrangements will be made for an on-site visit, whereby our team will install and setup the software on your premises.
In advance of this, you should send on a premises map and an inventory listing that covers all fire safety equipment and features, i.e. fire extinguishers, lighting, fire doors, etc.
Providing these in advance will allow for the installation process to take place as smoothly as possible.
3. Installation and Setup
Once a date has been agreed upon, our team will arrive on site to install and setup the Task Master software. This will involve a walk through the premises whereby it will be “tagged out”.
Essentially, this is the process of placing Near Field Communication (NFC) tags at points around the building. These are small tags, each embedded with a unique code. When the responsible person is carrying out the periodic fire check, they will “tap” the tags with the device containing the Task Master app.
The system is now ready to use.
4. Technical Support
Ongoing technical support is available to all Task Master Clients. This can be accessed by calling the team directly.
There is also a “members” area on www.taskmaster247.com which contains additional support features.
Additionally, the system will send automated email reports in the event of any missed or failed checks.
