What Musterlog does
It keeps four things for each site, across every site you run, and gives you one document when somebody asks for it.
The four things it keeps
- Procedures. Evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication, built from the Home Office standard tier guidance and adapted for each site. They're versioned, so you can show what was in force on a given date.
- Training records. Completion of the free official ACT Awareness course, recorded against names with dates and signatures, and linked to the version of the procedures in force at the time.
- Drill and review logs. Dated entries with photos. If a drill isn't written down, you can't show it happened.
- The estate picture. Every site, where it's up to, and which ones have gone quiet.
What it produces
An export for each site that answers what an inspector will ask: what are your procedures, who's been made aware of them, and when did you last check? You get it on the spot, instead of spending an afternoon ringing site managers.
Site managers use their own phones. There's no hardware, nothing to install and no app to get approved. Head office sees the group view. The licence is held centrally, so sites never see an invoice.
What it leaves out
- No training content. ACT Awareness is free, official and more trusted than anything we could write. We record that people have completed it. A rival course would cost money and make the product worse.
- No risk assessment or scoring. Standard tier doesn't require a formal risk assessment. A supplier grading your premises just creates a document that could be used against you, and it doesn't help you comply.
- No certificates. Martyn's Law doesn't have one, so we'd be making up a credential.
That it makes anyone compliant. No supplier can, no product is endorsed by the Home Office or the SIA, and the Home Office has said buying a product isn't necessary. Musterlog holds the evidence of what you did. The duty stays with the responsible person, which is you.
Where it's up to
Musterlog is early. It's being built now, for enforcement in spring 2027, and the first three groups to use it will be pilots, not customers. If you want a product with ten years of releases behind it, there are established suppliers who can offer that.
A pilot gets a product shaped around its own estate, direct access to the person building it, and no cost until April 2027. If that doesn't appeal, waiting is a perfectly sensible choice.
The estate view shows how many of your premises the duty actually lands on, before any talk of software. It's probably the most useful thing on this site.
