Yes. You do not need to start your safety case again simply because it was originally produced in Word or by an external consultant.
Existing safety case information can be brought into a structured environment where arguments, evidence, deficiencies and actions can be reviewed and maintained.
This can be particularly valuable where an organisation has inherited consultant-produced reports, needs to respond to regulatory feedback or wants to move from periodic report writing towards ongoing building safety risk management.
