Attendance Registration

Systematically tracking who is present at a location, essential for emergency response, compliance, and access control during incidents.

Updated:

What is attendance registration?

Attendance registration is the tracking of who is present in a building or at a location at any given time. Health and safety legislation requires employers to ensure a safe working environment, including knowing who is present during an emergency. Digital systems replace paper lists with real-time overviews that are immediately usable during an evacuation.

How does digital attendance registration work?

Employees and visitors check in via QR code, NFC badge, or a registration kiosk at the entrance. The system automatically records who is present, at what time, and in which part of the building. Emergency officers are separately marked so their location is always visible. During an alarm, the system immediately generates a current presence list.

Example

An office building with 200 employees and 30 daily visitors uses registration kiosks at the entrance. Employees scan their NFC badge, visitors register via a QR code on their phone. When the fire alarm sounds, the emergency coordinator has a list of all present persons on their tablet within 5 seconds, including the location of the three on-duty emergency officers.

Why is attendance registration important?

During an emergency, every second counts. Manual lists are unreliable and cost valuable time. Digital attendance registration gives emergency services an immediate overview, supports emergency coordinators during evacuations, and provides organizations with an audit trail for health and safety compliance. Additionally, it provides insight into occupancy rates and visitor patterns.
