1. How is the product developed?
BeSafe integrates all the information about each site and corresponding structures into the BeSafe Community. The customer simply signs online and is directed to their private section of the community to review the gathered data. Once the data is accepted, the customer assigns other members of their facility to the site and selects the appropriate first responder groups from the available list.
Once a contract is signed, our customer designates a point person to assist BeSafe in gathering contact information, aerial photographs, existing blueprints and floorplans. This point person also arranges for BeSafe to have access to all necessary buildings so we can begin our field work.
The BeSafe team always conducts an initial on-site visit to understand our customer’s objectives, listen to concerns and answer questions. During this visit, the BeSafe team confirms and updates all details of the building floorplan, taking digital photos of all entrances/exits, and records “items of interest” such as hazardous materials, emergency utility shut-offs, points of access, etc.
From initial boarding of a new client to the final acceptance and delivery of BeSafe materials and online access information, BeSafe Technologies typically follows our "5-Step" process:

The BeSafe Community Portal provides a management tool clients use to update any Building, Contact, or Utility information. This self service tool allows a client to change this information and notify all authorized users of the changes. BeSafe conducts scheduled updates as requested by our customers. During each update, customer information is always reevaluated and the BeSafe system is updated, with any necessary changes or new features.
