Employees use clocking smart cards to record their presence in fire roll call situation

Firefighters remained at a fire which began at the industrial site beside Lasham Airfield on Friday (August 26). A number of explosions could be heard while roads in the village of Lasham were closed and 12 homes evacuated. At its most fierce, 70 firefighters tackled the flames and 20 remained at the site on Sunday. Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire had initially been "quite small" and staff at the site had tried to tackle it themselves but it spread rapidly.

Time and Attendance South West’s clocking and personnel products can be integrated with fire roll call software that will automatically print a register of employees in the event of a fire or similar situation needing evacuation of the premises. As employees assemble at their fire roll call points, they use their smart cards or key fobs to record their presence. If employees have not brought their cards or fobs with them, they can be checked off manually using the generated reports.
