MSHA, ATEX 137 and DSEAR require site evacuation plans and regularly scheduled drills
Tracking and accounting for Personnel On Site (POS), Personnel On Board (POB) or Personnel Tagged in - is critical across many industries
Real-time tracking of all personnel during an event is critical to insure safety and is done most often done manually today with pen and paper
Muster Captains and/or Safety Wardens need to analyze muster drill results for both statutory reporting, identify training opportunities, procedure improvements and for constant improvement
