Frequently Asked Questions
Does BuildingReports create evacuation maps?

Can I use OSHAMap with BuildingReports?
Yes. OSHAMap and BuildingReports serve complementary purposes. Use OSHAMap to generate and maintain your OSHA-aligned evacuation maps, and use BuildingReports to manage your fire protection inspection schedules and reporting.
Which tool do I need for OSHA compliance?
For evacuation map compliance under 29 CFR 1910.38, you need OSHAMap. For fire protection inspection management and reporting, BuildingReports is useful. Many businesses use both tools together for comprehensive safety compliance.
Is OSHAMap more affordable than BuildingReports?
OSHAMap offers a free tier and affordable self-service plans starting with individual map generation. BuildingReports uses custom enterprise pricing that typically requires a sales consultation, making it less accessible for small to mid-size businesses.
