Does anyone know of FRSs that are using electronic tablets to carryout fire safety audits, if any??

There was a previous discussion on this- but in respect of FRAs. Dont know if it may be of interest?

I belive that Essex and Cheshire are.  Hants use laptops and London have a pilot starting for them.

I've come across a few brigades who have started using them - none yet that fully endorse them - even though it's at least 5 years since they started to appear on the scene.  Maybe some do fully endorse them - I don't know. 

They were introducing them in Bristol about a year ago - email me and I'll give you some names you can contact to discuss their viability.

I'm a pad and pen guy myself - and I certainly never got to grips with that CFRFRMSIS malarky!

I belive Shropshire have been using the tablets for about three years now.

SYorks used them for 3 years. Due to the problems with battery life and the problems of inputting data using the stylus, as well as interfering with the flow and client/officer communication during audits they were replaced with laptops.
