ONE Engage is a first of its kind, new building safety information exchange and engagement platform, developed in response to the Building Safety Act (2022). Co-funded by ONE Creative environments and Innovate UK the UK’s innovation agency, ONE Engage provides the digital tools to connect residents, landlord safety teams and the Fire and Rescue Service, all in one place.
The Grenfell tragedy, Hackitt report, Building Safety Act (2022) and subsequent Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 are all placing additional obligations on duty-holders to ensure safety-critical assets remain compliant. Accountable and Responsible Persons must put provisions in place to share information relating to the management of these key assets with residents and also Fire Authorities, digitally.
There are 45 separate FRS regions in the UK, all with different procedures for managing information; and a lack of FRS resources to process and manage this ongoing information from landlords. Moreover, at present there is no standard solution in place for the exchange of this vast information for the approximately 13,000 higher-risk buildings in the UK.
ONE Engage provides an efficient, standardised approach using “data for public good” and aims to become the industry standard for the exchange of critical information with Fire Authorities.
