Businesses ensure duty of care to Poole colleagues as smart cards mean all are accounted for

Commercial Road in Poole has been re-opened after a local school caught fire. The blaze affected Buckholme Towers School near Ashley Cross overnight, causing long delays to commuters this morning (Tuesday) after the road in Parkstone was shut. Commercial Road was shut between the Civic Centre and Parr Street, but is now nearly back to normal. Dorset Fire and Rescue Service said the cause of the fire would be investigated, but police said it was not being viewed as suspicious.

Businesses have a duty of care to their staff in ensuring that colleagues are in a safe environment. Time and Attendance Southern can partner your firm so that when a fire occurs and the building needs evacuating, all those inside can exit swiftly and all are accounted for. This is made possible with Fire Roll Call Software. As employees assemble at their fire roll call points, they use their proximity read smart cards or key fobs to record their presence.
