Parents and educators alike agree that schools should take any extra security measure or safety protocol necessary to help keep students safe, healthy, and actively learning. With the increased threat from intruders, schools have even enlisted the help of organizations such as the FBI to help them investigate and adopt tactics for keeping students and public areas safe. Unfortunately, however, such increased security often comes at the cost of many children’s healthy educational environment. The National Association of School Psychologists has presented research that suggests these increased security measures often make children nervous and confused about being at school, resulting in difficulty functioning and learning.

And while implementing tools such as metal detectors and surveillance cameras can provide some tangible benefits, there are other ways of keeping schools safe without compromising the students’ healthy learning environment. With solutions from Savance EIOBoard, your school, business, or workspace can effectively manage the comings and goings of staff and guests – keeping criminals and the uninvited on the outside.

EIOBoard stands for “Electronic In-Out board.” This highly customizable software gives you the ability to track and manage any number of metrics for assessing visitor activity, including the power to know:

• Who enters a school

Every parent has the right to know that they are sending their child to a safe, healthy learning environment everyday. EIOBoard provides powerful functionality to enable your school to simply and efficiently manage lists of visitors for all sorts of events and activities. Whether it be sporting events, school dances, or just everyday classes, parents and school officials can rest easy knowing that every guest has been verified and admitted based on your school’s specific, chosen standards.

As threats to school safety continue to change and increase, student security is not only a priority, but a necessity. Fortunately, with the right technology, schools can continue to be bastions of security and stability for all children. By implementing powerful software such as Savance EIOBoard, schools can help increase the effectiveness of their security and allow teachers and educators to get back to focusing on what they do best – helping your children grow and thrive.

In today's volatile environment many businesses including the Government are targets for unlawful entry, theft, and workplace violence and sabotage. As offices conduct business every day they encounter numerous unknown visitors from commercial delivery, interviewers, service personnel, and business opportunities.

Many companies still use a manual approach like the guest sign in books to log visitors that come through their building. This system for managing visitors is less than effective and does not provide a deterrent against would be assailants, thus leaving you with a vulnerable sense of security. Taking a proactive approach can prevent security breaches and ensure the safety of your office and property.

Disaster planning is one of those activities executives dread. Not only is it a non-revenue earning activity, the probability of a disaster is minimal. But the important factor of the disaster equation is not the probability of it ever happening, but the potential loss incurred if it does happen. The fact is, emergency preparedness is mission-critical and urgent. And it might happen today.

Emergency evacuation planning or relocation is a vital component of the disaster planning process. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), evacuations are more common than people realize. Fires and floods cause the most evacuations. In addition, there are hundreds of industrial accidents every year, resulting in community evacuation. How much time you have to evacuate depends on the type of disaster. Impending weather may allow up to two days but a fire allows mere seconds. "Emergency Preparedness is Critical." - OSHA, How to Plan for Workplace Emergencies and Evacuations.

FEMA recommends that businesses prepare and test evacuation plans customized to your business. A medical facility and a bank would have very different evacuation plans. Testing the plan at least twice a year is necessary. Evacuation preparedness plans should include evacuating, locating and reuniting all personnel, including employees, clients and visitors on the property. Evacuation plans should also include coordinating with emergency responders, managing shelters and communicating with loved ones.

In today's mobile workforce, precious moments can be wasted locating employees that are actually off-site. According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, (OSHA), confusion during an evacuation can lead to unnecessary delays and dangerous search-and-rescue attempts. In addition, businesses should account for non-employees, such as clients and vendors on the property. A 100 percent accurate record of all personnel located onsite in the moment of the evacuation is essential. But is that even possible? Savance EIOBoard's innovative Emergency Preparedness Software is an easy, efficient solution for accounting for all employees with 100 percent accuracy. This software solution resides on any mobile device and syncs continuously throughout the day. During an evacuation, the device is used for roll call, having only been updated moments before. The safety officer knows exactly who was in the building and where. The safety officer can then grab the device on the way out of the building, be able to select a single or multiple buildings, and take a quick roll call of who is in or out.

Effective disaster planning doesn't need to take valuable resources from revenue-earning activities. Savance's offline interface can be used for any organization, including schools, refineries and office buildings. For a real-world example, look at how Sherritt International, Canada's largest thermal coal producer, handles employee tracking.  

​

Sherritt International, a worldwide leader in mining and refining ores, has stepped up their emergency preparedness with EIOBoard's Emergency Roll Call solution. Since Prairie Mines is an open-pit mine operation, government regulations require that Sherritt keep detailed records of everyone in the building for safety compliance. Precise records are vital for emergency roll call during an evacuation. View now the Emergency Preparedness Case Study.
