Fire Risk Assessments, DBS Tracking and Healthcare Compliance
NHS trusts, private healthcare providers, and community health services face relentless compliance demands. Fire Risk Assessments must be current, DBS checks verified, staff certificates tracked, and patient safety documentation maintained to the highest standards. Yet many healthcare organisations still manage these critical functions across disconnected systems, spreadsheets, and paper records.
A missing FRA, outdated DBS check, or unverified infection control training doesn’t just create a compliance gap; it puts patients at risk and exposes your trust to enforcement action. Healthcare compliance isn’t bureaucracy—it’s patient safety.
BORIS is purpose-built for healthcare compliance, trusted by NHS trusts including Bradford Royal Infirmary. Four core modules deliver the compliance rigour healthcare requires:
- Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) Module: Conduct systematic FRAs across multiple buildings and zones. Capture hazards, people at risk, and control measures. Generate compliant FRA reports automatically.
- Compliance Management: Build compliance calendars for FRAs, DBS checks, training expiry, equipment certification, and regulatory deadlines. Automated alerts flag when action is due.
- Resource Planner with DBS/Certification Matching: Track which staff hold current DBS clearance and certifications (infection control, manual handling, safeguarding). Automatically match trained, vetted staff to the right roles.
- Digital Documentation: All forms and assessments run on iOS, Android, and Web. Offline capability lets assessors work anywhere in your estate. Digital signatures and timestamps provide evidence of compliance.
