How to enable the swiftest exit possible from industrial estate buildings in emergencies
Approximately 90 firefighters from two counties have attended a blaze at a car showroom and workshop in Norfolk this week. Fire crews were called to the industrial estate in Downham Market at 03:20 GMT on Wednesday (December 5, 2012). The town’s bypass was closed to traffic until about 10:00 GMT. An eyewitness Donovan Bunten said to the BBC the site was “well ablaze” when he turned up at work at a company opposite the showroom at 03:30 GMT.
Time and Attendance UK’s clocking and time & attendance products can be integrated with fire roll call software that will automatically print a report in the event of a fire. As employees assemble at their fire roll call points, they use their smart cards or key fobs to record their presence. If employees have not brought their cards or fobs with them, they can be checked off manually using the generated reports. Proximity read cards or fobs enable the swiftest exit possible in emergencies.
