EMERGENCY & EVACUATION MANAGEMENT

A clearer picture when every person counts.

Support your emergency response with a clearer record of who is signed in. VisTab brings evacuation lists, mobile head counts and attendance information together for workplaces and schools across New Zealand and Australia.

FROM SIGN-IN TO ROLL CALL

Keep people information ready when you need it.

Good emergency records start with everyday sign-in. Bring visitors, contractors and staff into a consistent process, then use that information to support your evacuation plan.

See who is signed in

Use current sign-in records to help identify the people recorded as on site, across visitors, contractors and staff.

Conduct mobile head counts

Access evacuation information and carry out head counts using a mobile phone, an internet-capable device or the VisTab tablet.

Identify assistance needs

Make recorded visitor assistance requirements visible to the people managing your evacuation.

Configure groups

Organise evacuation information around your site, including groups such as classrooms where configured.

Manage multiple sites

Give authorised users access to the relevant sites and evacuation information through the web portal.

Review past evacuations

Access completed evacuation records in the portal to help review drills and identify improvements.

PREPARE BEFORE YOU NEED IT

Start with a reliable sign-in routine.

An evacuation list is most useful when arrivals and departures are recorded consistently. Configure VisTab around the people, sites and reporting responsibilities in your organisation.

Include everyone who visits

Make sign-in clear for visitors and contractors as well as your regular team.

Keep departures up to date

Encourage people to sign out so your records reflect completed visits.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FAQ

Plan with clearer information.

Common questions about VisTab’s evacuation and attendance tools.

How does VisTab support emergency management?

VisTab uses your sign-in information to support evacuation lists, head counts and reviews of completed evacuations. It gives the people coordinating your response easier access to relevant attendance records.

Can we use a phone for evacuation head counts?

VisTab supports head counts from a mobile phone, an internet-capable device or the VisTab tablet. Ask the team to demonstrate the workflow and access requirements for your setup.

Can it show who may need help evacuating?

VisTab can make recorded visitor assistance requirements available within your evacuation information. Agree how you will collect, maintain and use those details as part of your site’s process.

Can we review drills and completed evacuations?

Yes. Completed and past evacuation information can be analysed through the VisTab web portal by users with the appropriate access.

Does a sign-in record confirm someone’s physical location?

A sign-in record shows the attendance information recorded in the system. Its accuracy depends on people signing in and out. Use it alongside your head counts and established emergency procedures.

What happens if power or connectivity is interrupted?

VisTab offers offline sign-in capability, but mobile and portal access depend on your device and connection. Discuss the emergency access and backup arrangements for your setup with the team and include them in your drills.
