Digitizing evacuations

摘要

That leads to a high level of assumption that when a worker triggers an alert, the system will work. But in an emergency event that's not good enough. Technology is constantly evolving to utilise 21st-century innovations and the powerful computer we're all carrying around in our pockets. Emergency systems should be evolving as well. How an evacuation event is managed by a business - including how an alert is raised and responded to - can have a massive impact on safety outcomes. In an emergency it's human nature to panic with a 'fight or flight' response. When people think they are in danger they can make unwise decisions, especially if a large group of people is trying to do the same thing, such as evacuate a 20-storey building. Therefore, it's imperative to stay abreast of your options regarding worker mobilisation and communication so you can update your emergency processes and systems accordingly.
