 MSHA, ATEX 137 and DSEAR require site evacuation plans and
regularly scheduled drills
 Tracking and accounting for Personnel On Site (POS), Personnel On
Board (POB) or Personnel Tagged in - is critical across many
industries
 Real-time tracking of all personnel during an event is critical to insure
safety and is done most often done manually today with pen and
paper
 Muster Captains and/or Safety Wardens need to analyze muster drill
results for both statutory reporting, identify training opportunities,
procedure improvements and for constant improvement
