Send an emergency alert

Raise the alarm on every phone at a site in seconds, then see who is accounted for and who you still need to find.

Step by step

1. Open Emergency alerts from the menu.
2. Tap Send This Alert on the template that fits, such as Gas Leak, Fire or Explosion, or Site Evacuation. Or tap Send alert to write your own.
3. Add what only you know: exactly where it is, which way to leave, and where to muster.
4. Choose the site. The note under it says who it reaches and how many people.
5. Tap Send Emergency Alert, then tap again to confirm.
6. Open the alert in Alert history for the muster board: accounted for, outstanding, and everyone alerted. Anyone outstanding is listed by name.

What the crew sees

• The alert takes over the screen on every phone it reaches, with a siren and vibration, until they tap I Acknowledge This Alert. It is emailed too.
• If the acknowledgement cannot reach the office, the alert stays up and says so, so nobody is counted safe by mistake.

Good to know

• Who it reaches. A site alert goes to everyone at that site today, plus management and the safety lead. Safety managers and administrators can also send company-wide, or Escalate to company-wide from the muster board.
• Foremen can send one. A foreman's alert always goes to their own site. Editing the templates is for management.
• Call 911 first when lives are at risk. The alert is for getting your people out and counted.
