Your fire safety logbook grows with every inspection, audit-proof and evidence-ready.

Begehung.pro guides you through the fire safety inspection, transcribes your voice notes, and records every finding as defect, note, recommendation or observation directly in the digital fire safety logbook. You have the draft report before you leave the site.

Four things that slow down your fire safety routine today

Your fire safety logbook lives in Word, Excel or a paper folder with scanned PDFs. Word is editable after the fact, Excel has no audit trail. There's no evidentiary integrity that way, and falling back to paper is the honest but costly answer.

On the third visit you're at the same blocked escape route. Which finding has been open since when, which escalation went out, with what result? Without a running history you can't show management, building authority or insurer that you raised the issue long ago.

Fire alarm, fire doors, smoke and heat exhaust, emergency lighting, wall hydrants, extinguishers. Every installation has its own maintenance interval. You keep dates in Outlook and Excel, and when staff changes the thread breaks. When the inspector asks for the latest fire alarm maintenance report, the hunt across five folders begins.

The fire prevention inspection is due. Building authority or fire safety service want the fire safety concept, fire alarm maintenance records, evacuation drill protocol, defect list with closure status and training records of the fire safety helpers. Not bundled and ready, it looks bad and earns you orders.

Defect history across inspections

Every finding is classified by type, as defect, note, recommendation or observation, with responsible person and deadline. On the follow-up inspection, open items reappear automatically with the date of their first finding, and you document the effectiveness check directly at the item. Recurring defects are flagged, important for escalation under ArbStättV Annex 2.3.

Profiles and your own checklists

Pre-built profiles for structural, operational, installation-based and organisational fire protection. Your own checklists and existing Word templates can be imported at onboarding. Special-building rules such as KhBauR, MVStättVO, MIndBauRL and MHHR are modelled as your own profile.

Frequently asked questions from fire safety officers

Yes. The records contain inspection date, inspector ID, inspected areas, identified findings with classification as defect, note, recommendation or observation, assigned actions with responsible person, deadline, and status. All data is stored audit-proof with timestamps. The requirements of DGUV Information 205-003, vfdb 12-09/01 and VdS 3111 are identical in wording and therefore covered.

In German data centres. We are a European vendor without US corporate ties and no access via the US CLOUD Act. We provide the DPA per Art. 28 GDPR as a ready-to-sign PDF. The summary of technical and organisational measures per Art. 32 GDPR and the list of subprocessors are available at /avv and /subprozessoren. Our technical and organisational measures are aligned with ISO 27001 and BSI C5. We are not officially certified against either standard.

You control retention in line with your obligations. Fire safety logbook and inspection records typically 10 years, evacuation drill protocols at least 10 years, fire safety concept and records of the fire prevention inspection for the life of the building. During the contract term you can export every inspection as PDF/A into your own archive at any time. After cancellation you have another 90 days of read-only access to collect the final export, longer on request.

A central logbook that links every fire safety officer activity audit-proof. Inspections with photo and audio, defects with classification and deadline, maintenance walkarounds, hot-work permits, training records for fire safety helpers, evacuation drills. Tamper-proof with audit trail, searchable, exportable as PDF/A. Not to be confused with the building's official fire safety concept, which stays with the specialist planner.

Yes. You set up your own inspection profiles and checklists, including special-building rules such as KhBauR, MVStättVO, MIndBauRL and MHHR. Existing Word templates can be imported during onboarding, so you keep working from your established library without a fresh start. In the full integration plan we rebuild your report template one-to-one.

One workspace per client. Data separated, reports in each client's corporate identity, separate defect cockpits. At the same time you keep an overarching view across all client sites, without any client seeing another's data.

Yes. Offline capture is the default, sync happens as soon as coverage is back. For Ex-zones where the tablet cannot enter, the full-integration package adds a paper workflow: you print the inspection profile as a paper template, take notes by hand, and capture them on the tablet immediately after leaving the zone.

Which version applies to you depends on the federal state. The revision is being rolled out unevenly. In Begehung.pro you maintain the inspection profiles and checklists yourself. You can keep a transitional variant and the new variant in parallel and decide per site when to switch to the new version.
