The 3M™ Safety & Inspection Manager for Emergency Services (SIM-ES) is a software service built off the 3M™ Connected Safety platform that empowers command staff to take a proactive approach to managing records and documentation.

“3M has a history of bringing innovative solutions to the fire services, most notably the 3M Scott Fire & Safety sub-brand, and our latest Safety and Inspection Manager tool is no exception,” said Longin Kloc, global software as solution manager. “We strive to innovate with purpose, providing solutions that matter to fire departments —products that enable more efficient work, and SIM-ES does just that.”

SIM-ES is a platform that connects people, information and systems to help you improve productivity, increase situational awareness, and run an efficient health and safety program.

Departments can use a phone or tablet to scan assets and 3M Scott products come fully loaded. Departments will need minimal training getting started as they manage SCBA, thermal imagers, trucks and gear. Alerts and notifications of impending and overdue activities keep your agency on track and support adherence to regulatory requirements.

“By making inspection and asset management an intuitive process using a phone or tablet, we are enabling departments to streamline their record keeping and improve accessibility to information through the cloud,” Kloc said. “As a former firefighter, I know the importance of maintaining good records and SIM-ES provides the perfect solution.”
