Automate your sign in system for quick & easy reports

One of the most common requirements for customers today managing contractors before any compliance comes into play like inductions, insurances, licenses and more is the simple sign in and sign out process. I have been involved in Time & Attendance for more than 20 years and know wherever there is a manual timesheet system contractors generally are the winners at the end of the day. Some common examples include… Contractor turns up at 7:05 but writes 7:00 – multiply this by thousands of contractors and it all adds up. 2000 […]

Buildings with multiple tenants have issues managing hundreds and thousands of visitors.

Give fire wardens access to evacuation management from their smart phone.   Book in a demonstration for your building

I had a customer come to me last week and explain how they had contractors who would go onto the roof of the building for any number of reasons including air conditioning, antennas and general maintenance. The issue as it was explained to me was the customer never knew when the contractors were actually on the roof and the biggest issue when they were actually off the roof. As the process was explained to me in detail about the contractor arriving on site and completing the necessary paperwork to go […]

Inductions – how long should they be? A good question to ask yourself to answer this question “how long does my induction need to be” would be what information do I need to share with the person completing the induction.

Some inductions are so long they can go over several days. How long should your induction be? I often […]

Every building has an evacuation drill process, after talking to hundreds of customers over the past few months about evacuation drills I can see the level of process, accountability and systems vary dramatically from one building to another. Multiple location companies have different systems for individual locations creating no consistency with the process. Some companies completely outsource the process. What is the difference between a Floor Warden and a Chief Warden? and who is a Deputy Floor Warden? Many companies have multiple Floor Wardens and Chief Wardens, you need to […]

For me this is an easy question today, since the days visitor management books were made popular much has changed. I have spoken to thousands of companies over the years willing to share with me the issues around the visitor management book. The three biggest issues are…. Information is illegible much of the time Other suppliers can see who else has been in the building lack of compliance. Not only do I hear about the broader issues many customers go into great detail. Not being able to read the information […]

No matter what position you have in your business if you are part of the team that runs the evacuation in the event of an emergency then you will want to watch this short video. People management in evacuations just […]

Evacuation management can be as simple as a book with a list of names, walk outside and start checking names off the list…..but what if you have hundreds or even thousands of people to check off, how can you do this with paper? The reality is you can’t or at least if you try you will need many hours to complete the task. I speak with dozens of companies every week all running evacuation drills manually, all with issues and stories to tell about how the manual system just does […]
