Every fire
safety asset,
accounted for.
FireGuard Studio is the inspection, compliance and lifecycle platform for fire protection systems in upstream oil and gas, refining and gas processing.

1Register
Know what you have, and where.
Build the register once: site, unit, zone, asset. Scan a barcode or QR tag and the catalogue fills in the specification, so every extinguisher, detector, hydrant and deluge valve carries its own identity and history.
2Inspect
Walk the route. The record writes itself.
Technicians follow standard checklists on a handheld that works without signal. Each check is stamped with who, when and where, then syncs once the device is back in range.
3Resolve
A failed check becomes a work order.
Deficiencies are raised at the point of inspection, ranked by risk and tracked to closure. Nothing sits in a notebook waiting for the next audit.
4Prove
Show readiness on demand.
Managers, auditors and regulators see the same live picture: what is in service, what is due, who inspected it and with which credential. Audit exports take minutes, not days.
Four systems, one register.
From a 2 kg extinguisher to the firewater ring main, every asset sits in the same hierarchy and is inspected against the standard that governs it.

Tagging follows a two-tier scheme, functional location plus equipment ID, aligned to ISO 14224 and ISO 55001. Hazardous-area assets carry their ATEX or IECEx zone, and sour-service equipment is flagged so the right procedure and the right technician are assigned.
Every asset, from first tag to final replacement.
An extinguisher on a bracket, a monitor on the ring main and a detector wired to a controller age in different ways, but each needs an identity, a schedule, a record and a plan for replacement. FireGuard Studio manages that life for every category.
Asset register
Every extinguisher, monitor, hydrant, hose reel and detector gets a place in the site, unit, zone and asset hierarchy, a scannable tag, and a specification filled in from the catalogue.
Coverage and placement
See what protects each area and where the gaps are. For detection systems, coverage modelling works with fire and gas mapping tools.
Design records
Where equipment is tied to a controller, cause and effect matrices are kept under version control and the logic is verified by simulation.
In practice
Tagged and located, with type, capacity and fire rating filled from the catalogue.
Registered against its position on the firewater network, with its hydrant and supply.
Linked to its zone and to its entry in the cause and effect matrix.
Acceptance checks
New and relocated equipment is checked into service on the handheld, whether it is an extinguisher going onto its bracket or a monitor going onto the ring main.
Pre-startup safety review
Readiness verified before startup, with review coordinated across every discipline that has to sign.
Functional testing
End-to-end validation of suppression and detection systems before handover, with loop tests recorded and procedures generated from the design records.
In practice
Mounted, sealed and tagged, then checked into service with its first inspection.
Flow and range of movement tested and recorded before handover.
Loop tested, then included in the functional test of its system.
Inspection and testing
Scheduled programmes
Each asset class runs on the interval its standard and manufacturer require, from monthly extinguisher checks to monitor and hydrant flow tests. Work orders are raised and overdue items escalate.
Execution and records
Step-by-step digital procedures with enforced pass and fail criteria, photographic evidence, failure modes and time-stamped, signed completion.
Results analysis
Trends by asset type, area and failure mode, with dashboards showing completion and readiness.
Maintenance and reliability
Service history
Every inspection, recharge, hydrostatic test, calibration, repair and failure investigation is held against the asset, with manufacturer bulletins.
Reliability analysis
Mean time between failures by device type, failure patterns, repair-or-replace comparisons and vendor performance.
Spares and stock
Spare units, agents and critical parts identified from failure data, with stock level recommendations and lead-time tracking.
Detection and alarm systems
Proof testing
Test intervals tracked to IEC 61511 and IEC 61508, with diagnostic coverage, spurious trip rates and dangerous failure rate estimates.
Alarm rationalisation
Every alarm with its priority, consequence and operator action, aligned to ISA 18.2 and EEMUA 191 and kept with the site alarm philosophy.
Alarm performance
Alarm floods and their root causes, nuisance, shelved and standing alarms, and operator response times.
In practice
Inspected monthly and maintained annually, with internal examination and hydrostatic testing at the intervals NFPA 10 sets.
Inspected, lubricated and flow tested through its full range of movement at the intervals NFPA 25 sets.
Proof tested and calibrated at the interval its safety function requires.
Deficiency to work order
A failed check raises a deficiency at the point of inspection. It is ranked by risk, turned into a work order and followed until closure is verified.
Repair or replace
Service history and failure patterns show when reconditioning is enough and when a unit has reached the end of its life, so nothing is replaced too early or kept too long.
Replacement planning
Automated reminders for expiry and end-of-life dates, demand forecasts so replacements are ordered ahead of need, and obsolescence warnings.
In practice
Recharged after use, reconditioned when service allows, and condemned and replaced when it fails test.
Repaired under a tracked work order, or replaced when its failure record shows it is due.
Replaced on a failure trend or an obsolescence notice, with the change recorded.
Audit-ready at every phase
- Regulatory documentationCompliance packages for NFPA, IEC 61511, OSHA PSM, API RP 14C and the requirements of your local authority.
- Audit readinessInspection records, test certificates and performance indicators, current on any day an auditor asks.
- Management of changeWorks with your plant MOC procedure, with impact assessment for every modification.
For instrumented systems
Where fire and gas detection forms part of a safety instrumented system, FireGuard Studio works alongside the PlantSecure ProcessSafety module.

Audits ask who inspected it.
An auditor does not only ask whether the extinguisher was checked. They ask whether the person who checked it was qualified, trained and current. FireGuard Studio tracks competence end to end.
Certification registry
NFPA, NICET, ASNT, manufacturer and authority permits held per technician, with expiry dates, scanned certificates and renewal history.
Live competence matrix
A role by skill grid showing who can inspect what, with coverage gaps surfaced by site and discipline before they become findings.
Skill-based routing
Inspections are only assigned to technicians whose credential is active and matches the asset class.
Renewal reminders
Alerts at 90, 60 and 30 days reach the technician, the supervisor and HR, with enrolment in the refresher course.
Training records
Completions, hours and scores synchronised from your learning system, or managed in the built-in training catalogue.
Credential bundle
One export for any authority, insurer or client: who inspected what, with which credential, on which date.
Illustrative economics.
What a fire safety programme run on paper and spreadsheets can cost in a year. Move the slider to your asset count.
Where a manual programme leaks
- Paper logs are lost, damaged or never filed
- Records differ from one site to the next
- Audit reports take days to compile
- Maintenance happens after the failure, not before
- Inspectors find the gaps, and fines follow
- Readiness cannot be shown when it is asked for
Annual exposure
$2.01MHours lost to paperwork
7,610Full-time technicians tied up during the year
13.8Production hours lost to fire equipment failures, slow incident response, safety clearance delays and false-alarm shutdowns.
Urgent orders bought at a premium and flown in, and equipment replaced early because its service history cannot be found.
Expected cost of fines, shutdown orders and higher premiums when inspection records are missing or out of date.
Skilled time spent on data entry, compiling reports, rework from errors and audit preparation instead of plant work.
Illustrative only. Modelled on an industry-basis reference case, a 25,000-asset upstream facility, and scaled linearly by asset count. Regulatory exposure varies by jurisdiction. This is not a forecast for your site; a 30-minute workshop replaces every input with your own.
