Every Watch Logged.
Every Area Cleared.
The Challenge
Patrol documentation gaps create liability
Fire watch personnel patrol assigned areas but documentation is inconsistent. Paper logs often show the right times but lack verification that patrols actually occurred.
Post-work monitoring compliance is hard to verify
NFPA 51B requires 30-60 minutes of fire watch after hot work ceases. Verifying that post-work monitoring was maintained for the full duration is nearly impossible on paper.
Multi-area handoff tracking is error-prone
When fire watch responsibility transfers between areas or shifts, handoff documentation must be complete. Paper handoffs create gaps that expose the project.
Multi-level coordination adds complexity
Hot work on one floor requires fire watch on adjacent floors above and below. Coordinating multi-level fire watch coverage requires real-time visibility.
The POD Advantage
GPS-Verified Patrols
Fire watch personnel check in at assigned locations using GPS. Patrol routes and timestamps verified digitally. No more falsified patrol logs.
Post-Work Timer
Automated countdown timer starts when hot work ceases. Fire watch cannot be closed until the required monitoring period has elapsed.
Area Handoff Tracking
Digital area handoff between fire watch personnel and shifts. Outgoing watch documents status, incoming watch confirms acceptance.
Multi-Level Dashboard
See all fire watch coverage on every floor in one view. Identify uncovered areas before hot work begins.
