What it is

Firebug EXT uses barcodes to identify safety equipment and record inspections. Routes and checklists guide inspectors, and every asset on a route must be inspected before the route can be closed. The system records inspection results with dates and times for safety managers, tracks upcoming and outstanding work across monthly, semi-annual, annual, and 5-, 6-, and 12-year schedules, and generates reports on results and compliance. It can record readings, settings, and calibration data for fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, alarms, eyewash stations, exit signs, emergency lights, valves, range hoods, and other devices. Nine standard reports are available as PDF or Excel files. Inspection data can sync by Wi-Fi, cellular connection, or PC cradle. Firebug EXT runs on Android handheld devices and tablets; its brochure also lists most Windows, Android, or iPad tablets as supported. It can be installed on a single PC or workstation, run on an internal or web server, or hosted by General Data. The maker says it supports reporting and compliance procedures for OSHA, the Joint Commission, and other regulations. Pricing and demo access are available by request; no software price or trial terms are stated.
