Evacuation & Mustering · COMAH Sites

Evacuation & Mustering for comah sites sites.

Roll-call-free mustering that turns a chaotic evacuation into a live, auditable head count in seconds. Purpose-built for the regulatory and operational realities of comah sites.

When the alarm sounds, The Salvus Network already knows who was on site and, within seconds of them reaching a muster point, who is safe and who is still unaccounted for — with no action required from a single worker. Removing the human factor is the point: nobody signs a board, presses a button or waits for their name to be called. A single muster-point Anchor reads up to 500 Tags at once and marks everyone safe automatically as they arrive, replacing paper roll-calls and radio round-robins with a live SAFE / EVACUATING / MISSING rollup on one screen. Marshals see exactly which names remain outstanding and where they were last read — so search effort goes to the right place, first time. Every drill and real incident is logged automatically with a time-to-safe figure for your COMAH and fire-risk records. For comah sites operators, this means on a Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) establishment, the difference between a controlled response and a fatality is measured in minutes — and the difference between passing and failing an intervention is a defensible record. Paper roll-calls, T-card boards and radio round-robins were never designed for a toxic release, a vapour-cloud explosion or a spreading fire, and they leave you with a head count you cannot prove. The Salvus Network reads every worker's Tag at Anchors on gates, muster points and restricted-zone thresholds, turning each read into a live SAFE / EVACUATING / MISSING picture and a timestamped record that writes itself. When the Competent Authority asks how you know everyone was clear of the hazard zone, you show them, rather than tell them.

What you get

Evacuation & Mustering on a comah sites site.

No-touch muster

A single Anchor reads up to 500 Tags at once and marks everyone safe automatically — workers do nothing but arrive.

Live head count

SAFE / EVACUATING / MISSING rollup updates every few seconds as workers reach muster points.

Last-seen intelligence

Every missing worker shows where they were last read, so search teams start in the right zone.

Automatic drill reports

Time-to-safe, per-muster rosters and full timelines saved for every drill and incident.

Regulatory alignment

Evidence for the audit trail.

COMAH 2015 places two duties at the centre of personnel accountability. Regulation 5 requires a Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP) and, for upper-tier sites, a full safety report demonstrating that all measures necessary have been taken. Regulation 7 requires adequate emergency plans — internal and, via the local authority, external — that can be put into effect without delay. In practice, both hinge on being able to account for people quickly and accurately during a loss of containment. The Salvus Network provides the live head count, the last-seen location for anyone still inside a hazard zone, and the automatic time-to-safe record that evidences an effective emergency plan. It also supports the wider regime around a major-hazard site: DSEAR and the ATEX zoning that governs work in explosive atmospheres, HSG191 guidance on emergency response and, where relevant, the security expectations for sites holding scheduled substances. Every drill and real activation is logged, giving you the audit trail the Competent Authority and your own assurance teams expect.

Frequently asked questions

Is Evacuation & Mustering suitable for comah sites sites?+

Yes. The Salvus Network is a complete, off-the-shelf solution built for major-hazard environments and deployed across comah sites operations — Anchors and Tags give a live, auditable picture of every worker, asset and zone.

How does Salvus support compliance for comah sites operators?+

The platform produces a live, timestamped muster record and auditable time-on-site and access logs that evidence personnel accountability under COMAH, DSEAR and CDM regimes.

Can we see evacuation & mustering running before we commit?+

Yes — a live evacuation demo runs on your own site map within 24 hours, and you can see the operator console working in the first meeting.
