Evacuation drills recorded with times, not just ticks
A drill is only evidence if you wrote down what happened. Gaffer records each drill against the premises with the date, who took part, how long the evacuation took and what went wrong — so the next assessment has something real to work from.
Part of health & safety in Gaffer, which replaces a folder of last year’s templates with the dates changed.
The H&S paperwork gets done because it lives where the work is.
Risk assessments, method statements, permits, toolbox talks, inspections and registers, covering what an inspector, a main contractor or an insurer will ask for.
Win tenders that demand evidence, and sleep better knowing the file is complete.

Step 04 of the job: on site
The engineer taps “On my way” and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.
Health & Safety is where evacuation drills sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →
What are evacuation drills for?
A drill is only evidence if you wrote down what happened. Gaffer records each drill against the premises with the date, who took part, how long the evacuation took and what went wrong — so the next assessment has something real to work from. A drill is only evidence if you wrote down what happened.
Will this satisfy a main contractor asking for RAMS?
It produces the document they ask for, specific to the job rather than last year’s with the address changed, as a PDF you can send before you arrive. Their pre-qualification questions are their own, but the evidence is in one place.
Do the assessments have to be filled in on site?
That is the point of them, and the app is built for it — but they can be prepared in the office and signed on site, which is how most crews actually work.
Which plan is it on?
Every paid plan. Evacuation drills is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
