Quickler guide · Quickler Ltd

Every building, every check, written up before you're back at your desk.

For estates and facilities heads at universities, colleges and councils. Your team walks the site and talks or types into WhatsApp. Quickler writes the report.
IN SHORT

An estate is many duties across many buildings, held by your own team and by contractors. Fire doors, water, asbestos, grounds and the general condition of each building. Each check must be recorded, dated and findable. The best tool gets the record written on the walk round.

The short version
  • The employer or duty holder, here the university, college or council, carries the duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
  • Asbestos: the duty to manage under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
  • Fire: the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 in Scotland.
  • Legionella: L8 guidance on water systems.
  • Quickler records the checks by WhatsApp and writes the report in your own Word template. £75 a month per phone number, or £750 a year (2 months free). Unlimited free dashboard accounts.
Many buildings. Many people. One standard.

Your estate runs across many buildings and sites. Checks are done by your own staff and by contractors, each with their own forms. Someone then types it all up, days later, and you hope nothing was missed.

Nobody installs an app or learns a new login. Your surveyor, caretaker or contractor answers in WhatsApp as they walk. When they say done, the report is written. It comes back in your own Word template, with your headings, your wording and your logo.

Who is responsibleThe law

The employer or duty holder is responsible for the safety of the people in and around the buildings. For you that is the university, college or council, under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Software does not make an estate compliant. Acting on what the checks find does.

Fire, water and asbestosThe checks

Fire: the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in England and Wales, and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 in Scotland. Fire door checks are part of keeping that record.

Water: L8 is the guidance for legionella control. Asbestos: the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 put a duty to manage on the duty holder, which includes checking the condition of known materials.
