How do I send an Emergency SMS?
The Emergency SMS function allows Employees with an Admin System Role to send out an SMS to:
- All Staff in the Employee Register with a phone number
- Any Contractor Staff that have signed in but not yet signed out of the Sign In Register
Three SMS Emergency SMS can be sent:
- Be Alert - Prepare for an evacuation
- Evacuation - Evacuate Now
- All Clear - Safety threat contained. Return to Work.
To Send an Emergency SMS:
- Click Contractors > Sign in Register
- Or click 'Emergency SMS' in the Actions button
- Click the Red 'Emergency SMS' button
- Select which type of Emergency message to send (Be Alert, Evacuation, All Clear)
- The content of the SMS will displayed and highlighted in Red to show you what the recipients will receive
- Click Continue
- Another confirmation will be displayed
- Click Continue to send the Emergency SMS
Repeat the process to send further Emergency SMS. For example, you have sent a Be Alert SMS but the threat has been removed so now you want to send the 'All Clear' alert.
