Hi, Wondering if anyone is able to offer a streamline solution to a fire register document that we can use in a busy warehousing environment? We are currently using a simple A4 sheet in a ring binder- not very 21 Century I know! Issues; Manual additions Paper not being very durable Missing registers Requirements; Easily transferable and accessible in the event of an emergency Require staff- up to 20 per page to sign in/ out daily Any one have any thoughts or interesting methods that I could look to trial that would be fantastic.

A staff register must be 100% efficient on 100% of occasions for it to be an effective tool for accounting for people in an emergency.I am reading into your post that your system may not be 100% OK. Have you considered scrapping the register & introducing a sweep system where fire wardens do a rapid check of their designated area prior to leaving and reporting their findings to a coordinator? This prevents the need for regular staff to book in/out, and the need for the register to be kept and bought out during an evacuation

You may wish to look at the 'Tagevac' system as I feel it is a worthwhile system for certain environments such as yours? Particularly designed for emergency use: http://www.tagevac.com/
