Fire roll call software prints evacuation list at a safe point to improve employee safety

Firefighting crews have tackled a large fire at a waste management facility at Thirsk. They were called just after 1922 BST on Tuesday, May 3 to the Todd Waste Management site on Thirsk Industrial Park. So far no-one has been reported as hurt in the blaze. A North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said the fire involved three buildings containing various waste products. The spokeswoman added that she described the scene as a "large scale incident".

Time and Attendance North East’s clocking and security products can be integrated with fire roll call software that will automatically print out a report in the event of a fire or other emergency. Employees on learning of the emergency simply log themselves out of the working premises using either a proximity read smart card or key fob. The fire roll call software prints an evacuation list at a safe pre-determined remote point. If employees have not brought their cards with them, they can be checked off manually using the generated reports.
