Emergency Evacuation and Mustering

Using Real Time Location Details to Accelerate Time to Action, Insight, and Reaction

In an emergency, when lives are at stake, each and every person must be accounted for quickly and accurately. Kiana’s Emergency Mustering Solution allows you to transform your emergency plan to quickly and efficiently account for all staff, visitors, and contractors with 100% accuracy.

What is Mustering, Evacuation and Emergency Locating?

When it comes to safety and security in the workplace, nothing is more important than having an emergency response plan that includes an automated headcount system in place.

Kiana’s Solution provides security personnel, health and safety officers, and anyone else monitoring staff wellbeing with an up-to-date list of who is in your facility and locate those that did not check in at their muster points when an emergency alert is initiated.

How Do You -

  • Quickly & efficiently account for all employees, visitors & contractors in the event of a catastrophic event such as fire or earthquake?

  • Account for all on-site staff in a matter of minutes and remove from the roll call those that were not at your facility at the time of the incident?

  • Facilitate the safe evacuation of people during an emergency situation?

  • Automatically count personnel at muster stations and quickly locate missing people for first responders?

Kiana’s Emergency Evacuation & Mustering Solution Allows You T0 –

  • Know exactly where your employees, visitors and contractors are at any time, and automatically count personnel at muster stations.

  • Quickly locate missing personnel, communicate with them when possible, and share their location and status with security personnel and first responders.

  • Conduct roll-call from remote locations for any number of emergency evacuation sites or areas.  Quickly verify who is accounted for at their specific mustering site.

  • Maintain mobile roster lists – keep a real time record of all personnel, contractors and visitors locations & safety status.  Identifying a person at one muster location will alert other locations that this person was accounted for and safe, even if it was not their specified evacuation site.

  • Track employee, visitor and contractor location real time in the event of an evacuation.  Emergency services can be notified who is still in the building or facility, where they are, and what their status is, allowing rescue services to go right to the exact location with the right equipment.

  • Optimize time and costs during safety drills. Post-drills and training, the playback of the evacuation drill gives you the opportunity to review and improve your evacuation protocols for better worker safety.

  • Alerting and notifications – Using Kiana’s platform, security or essential emergency personnel can provide first-responders the names, ID photos, and location of missing personnel or visitors onsite.

  • Flexible  architecture – the system can be customized based on a variety of different factors, including employee roles & responsibilities, floor plans, evacuation routes, hazardous areas, etc.

  • OSHA Compliance – Review your local OSHA regulations for workplace emergencies and evacuations and adjust your evacuation protocols to stay compliant.

Emergency Mustering & Evacuation – Use Case

Emergency Evacuation and Mustering Solution

Background

Emergency Mustering Systems are designed to facilitate the safe evacuation of people during a crisis or emergency situation

Problem

During an emergency, it is vital to know who has or has not left the hazardous area.  The ability to track multiple people, at speed in a mass evacuation can prevent injuries, fatalities and loss.

Current Method

Manual mustering is still the most common approach employed during an evacuation.  Workers, contractors and visitors are guided to pre-identified muster points.

Solution

Kiana focuses on where the real risk lies: Identifying who has NOT mustered and their location and status.  We locate in real time for at risk individuals and if needed, their biometrics, status and generate alerts to first responders and staff in charge during an event.

Kiana Platform Benefits

No App Needed

Kiana Analytics leverages real-time data reported from your existing network, of all mobile device signatures. This data is encrypted and securely analyzed to  identify presence and movement of people and assets based on their mobile phones, badges and other wearables or tags to enable smart facility services for visitors and staff. Our XPRT platform does not require deployment of hardware or software to provide services to Security, Operations, Facilities and HR.

Private & Secure (GDPR compliant)

Security is paramount for us.  Visitors do not have to show their vaccination details once registered.  Their QR code provides proof that they are permitted to attend.  Personal data stays behind your firewall.  Kiana only uses encrypted mobile device signatures for our services, we never receive any unencrypted data. Only your own authorized staff can decrypt information for their use.

Customizable

Our Registration system is part of the XPRT Platform and leverages the same privacy and security features of the platform.  The system provides you the ability to select the type of visitor registration details you require, long term registration or limited time duration events can be supported as well as location specific or cross-site visitor needs.

Easy to Use

Upon creating an even registration, a link and QR code are created for you to share with your guests. Post it on your website for sporting events, or attach it to an email or a mailed invitation. You take ownership of how and what information is requested for a given event. Even visitors that just pop in unannounced can also use the system before they’re allowed on campus.

Scalable and ROI friendly:

Kiana’s Visitor Registration system is part of our XPRT Intelligent Management Platform. As such it leverages other features to improve the operational efficiency and bring true smart facility capabilities to Health/ HR, Security, and Operations stakeholders. The XPRT platform is a cloud based system that grows with your needs and leverages your existing network infrastructure without ever needing to deploy any hardware or software on any device.

Use a visitor's own device, Bluetooth and Ultrawideband badge / tags

The XPRT platform can use information from a visitor’s own smartphone or your staff can provide Bluetooth badges as desired. In addition, Kiana supports Ultrawideband (UWB) tags and sensors (your network should support Bluetooth signals as well as WiFi, or use low cost Bluetooth UWB sensors to augment wherever needed to fill in observation gaps as needed).
