ATG launches Roll Call solution for industrial emergencies
Access control and visitor management software company ATG Digital has launched Roll Call – an attendance tracking and emergency head-counting feature on its app, to assist safety, health, environment and quality managers and safety officers during emergencies.
Roll Call enables operations of any size to quickly and easily keep track of attendance in any situation by using ATG’s app to mark off all on-site visitors. Safety, health, environment and quality managers and safety officers cite attendance records in an emergency as one of their biggest challenges.
The feature is already live on the ATG Digital app and clients can start using the new feature immediately, says ATG Digital sales VP Ariel Flax.
“As you never know when disaster could strike, your response depends on your preparedness. This feature gives managers peace of mind knowing they are one step ahead regarding the safety of their employees and visitors,” he says.
ATG Digital has proactively developed the feature, inspired by conversations with clients in the mining, manufacturing, warehousing and construction sectors. The company noticed that safety executives across the board favoured ATG Digital’s existing time and attendance reporting features. Many were incorporating this feature into their emergency response plans.
This phenomenon motivated ATG Digital’s research and development team to produce a purpose-built solution.
“We realised that the feature would have much broader application than mining and manufacturing, where there is an immediate need for health and safety compliance. Every organisation can benefit from the solution, from business parks to schools and even hospitals,” Flax notes.
“Time is of the essence to evacuate all personnel and visitors safely. Now there is technology to improve accuracy and speed up the process,” he says.
