User Experience Collection: QR Code Applications in Fire Safety Management
Original: https://cli.im/article/detail/2172
Fire safety not only concerns the property security of enterprises but also directly affects the life safety of employees. It has always been a key focus in enterprise safety management. Firefighting equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring safety, making daily inspections and management of firefighting equipment particularly important.
In traditional management methods, inspections of firefighting equipment primarily rely on card-style paper labels and paper record sheets. This approach can only display basic information such as equipment names and models. Inspectors need to rely on experience for on-site observation and testing, manually recording data, which introduces many human uncertainties and leads to significant variations in inspection results. To strengthen on-site management, improve the management of inspection, maintenance, and disposal of firefighting equipment, and standardize inspection results, many users have begun integrating QR code technology to achieve informatized fire safety management, effectively enhancing work efficiency and inspection quality.
We have compiled application examples from users across different industries utilizing QR codes in fire safety management. We hope these real-user experiences provide new ideas for your fire safety management efforts and help improve the efficiency and quality of your fire safety work.
Common Applications
1. Firefighting Equipment QR Code Labels
Firefighting equipment is numerous, widely distributed, and comes in various types and from multiple manufacturers. Timely access to information such as validity periods and basic parameters is essential. Paper labels offer limited information and are inconvenient to update. Creating an independent, unique QR code label for each piece of firefighting equipment, containing all basic information—such as facility name, serial number, status, manufacturer, production date, validity period, equipment photos, responsible person, location, and inspection/maintenance records—serves as an "electronic record" for each firefighting device.
Staff can use their mobile phones to scan the code and view basic information and historical inspection data of the equipment. Managing firefighting equipment information through QR codes facilitates inspection, maintenance, and operational use, improving management efficiency and enhancing the functional effectiveness of firefighting facilities.
By applying QR code labels, the inventory of firefighting equipment is transformed into individual electronic records. These can be quickly queried, updated, and exported via the CaoLiao QR code management backend, enabling efficient management of basic equipment information. This ensures that electronic records match the on-site basic data of firefighting equipment, laying the foundation for digital management of firefighting facilities.
User Application Examples:
- Yulin Second People's Hospital: Equipping Fire Extinguishers and Hydrants with "ID Cards" to Enhance Fire Safety
- Shendong Mining Service Company: Applying QR Code Identification Cards to 950 Fire Extinguishers
- Qingdao Public Transport: Creating "Electronic ID Cards" for Firefighting Equipment to Make Safety Inspections More Convenient, Rigorous, and Standardized
- Changjiang Waterway Bureau: Creating Electronic "ID Cards" for Fire Extinguishers, Enabling Information Access with a Scan—"One Scan, Information Access"
- Gansu Wuwei Highway Development Center: Firefighting Facility QR Code Information Display Signs for Quickly Understanding the Usage Status of Firefighting Equipment
2. Fire Inspection System
Traditional fire inspection methods rely on manual on-site checks and paper-based record-keeping. This approach leads to fragmented inspection records, difficulties in querying and statistics, and an inability to verify in real-time whether inspection and maintenance personnel have actually arrived on-site, potentially resulting in false or missed inspections.
Using QR codes to replace paper inspection forms, combined with form functionality based on firefighting equipment QR code labels, enables effective management of inspection, maintenance, and disposal processes for firefighting equipment.
During inspections, personnel can use their mobile phones to scan the firefighting equipment QR code, view the corresponding equipment's electronic record, fill in inspection results based on predefined check items, and update the equipment status. By restricting location, time, requiring on-site photos (disabling gallery uploads), and other methods, it ensures that employees conduct inspections at the correct location, standardizes the inspection process, and significantly reduces the management difficulty of firefighting equipment while improving management efficiency and quality.
User Application Examples:
- Taizhou Coastal Expressway: Digital Management Experience for Safety Inspection Facility Records
- Yingkou Fire Department Xishi Brigade: Developing a QR Code Mini Program for Firefighting Equipment Inspection to Achieve Efficient and Standardized Checks
- Shizuishan Fire Rescue Brigade: QR Codes Assist in Practical Firefighting Applications
- Zhaojin Management Office: Applying CaoLiao QR Codes to Establish an Intelligent Fire Safety Management Model
- Nanchang Metro: Building a One-Item-One-Code Inspection Platform for Firefighting Equipment to Achieve Electronic Tracking of Fire Inspections

3. Fire Safety Training Records
Fire safety training is a crucial preventive measure to eliminate and reduce hazards and prevent accidents. Enterprises need to conduct regular fire safety training. Meetings and lectures are common training formats, but fixed training times may conflict with some employees' schedules, preventing their attendance, and issues like proxy sign-ins may occur. Furthermore, limited training time prevents employees from repeatedly reviewing course materials, potentially hindering effective mastery of fire safety knowledge.
Creating QR codes for training materials and sharing them with all employees allows the inclusion of not only PPTs but also case videos, presenting fire safety knowledge more vividly. Employees can view the materials and participate in training via WeChat, flexibly arranging their learning time and supporting repeated viewing. After learning, employees can fill out corresponding forms and sign to submit their learning records. Managers can export training records from the backend to form a training record ledger.
User Application Examples:
- Meijia Second Service Center: Scanning Codes to Record Training Situations, Ensuring Authenticity of Training Records
- Learning and Training Record QR Code Application
4. Fire Safety Knowledge Promotion
Fire safety knowledge promotion typically uses banners, slogans, posters, and text messages, which mostly convey basic promotional slogans and cannot provide detailed safety knowledge, resulting in limited promotional effectiveness. Applying QR codes to fire safety knowledge promotion can achieve better results.
QR codes support the addition of various content such as promotional images, emergency evacuation videos, and text descriptions, allowing more comprehensive and complete presentation of promotional content to the public. Embedding QR codes in educational materials, promotional boards, and posters enables the public to quickly access relevant promotional content by simply scanning the code with their phones. This method not only improves dissemination effectiveness but also enhances public fire safety awareness and emergency response capabilities.
