Evacuation & Mustering · Social Housing
Evacuation & Mustering for social housing 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 social housing.
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 social housing operators, this means housing officers, repairs operatives and surveyors spend their days alone in properties and communal blocks, sometimes facing aggression, sometimes in genuine danger, with no one who knows exactly where they are. Meanwhile landlords are under intense pressure to evidence that repairs are done, that contractors are who they say they are, and that high-rise buildings are safe. The Salvus Network gives every lone worker a Tag that raises a located duress alert, controls and records which contractors are on site for repairs and maintenance, and tracks tools and plant across depots — so the people delivering safe homes are themselves kept safe and accountable.
What you get

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.
The Regulator of Social Housing's consumer standards — in particular the Safety and Quality Standard — require registered providers to keep homes safe, to manage repairs effectively, and to hold accurate data about their stock and the work done to it. Providers must be able to evidence this, not just assert it. The Building Safety Act 2022 and the associated fire-safety regime place additional duties on higher-risk residential buildings, including managing safety risks in communal areas and keeping a clear record of who accesses them. Awaab's Law tightens timescales for acting on hazards such as damp and mould, which means proving that operatives attended and completed work matters more than ever. Underpinning all of this, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require the risks of lone working and violence to be assessed and controlled. The Salvus Network supplies the located duress cover, the contractor and access records, and the asset trail that let a landlord protect its staff and evidence its safety and quality obligations.
