How Emergency Mustering Works
Litum’s emergency mustering solution brings innovation and reliability to personnel tracking by integrating BLE Beacon technology directly into electronic ID badges. These smart badges transmit unique signals, detectable from up to 50 meters by tablets or smartphones, ensuring accurate and automated roll calls without delays or manual errors.
The system syncs with popular time and attendance software, refreshing the attendance list in real-time. Using our software, it quickly identifies missing personnel by comparing the current roll-call data with the latest attendance sheet, streamlining emergency responses. Built for resilience, Litum’s mustering system operates on a cloud server supported by GSM technology, guaranteeing uninterrupted performance even during power outages or network failures.

FAQ
What is mustering in an emergency?
Mustering is the process of accounting for all personnel during an emergency evacuation or incident. It involves gathering people at designated muster points and confirming that everyone is present and safe. In traditional mustering, this is done through manual roll calls, which are slow and often inaccurate when time is critical.
What is an emergency mustering system?
An emergency mustering system is a technology solution that automates the process of accounting for personnel during an evacuation or critical event. Instead of paper-based roll calls, the system uses real-time location data to generate an automatic headcount, showing who is at the muster point, who is still inside the facility, and where unaccounted individuals were last seen.
How does RTLS mustering work?
Each person wears a tag or badge that communicates with fixed infrastructure across the facility. During an emergency, the system automatically generates a live headcount and displays the location of every tagged person on a map. Emergency coordinators see in real time who is accounted for and who may still be at risk, without relying on manual lists or verbal confirmations.
What is RFID roll call?
RFID roll call is a method of automatically confirming personnel presence using RFID tags. Readers at muster points detect tags as people arrive, automatically logging each person without requiring manual sign-in. This speeds up the accountability process significantly compared to traditional roll call methods.
Why is manual mustering a problem?
Manual roll calls during emergencies are slow, error-prone, and impractical in large or multi-zone facilities. Lists may be outdated, people may be missed, and coordinators often lack visibility into which areas have been cleared. In high-stakes situations where every second counts, these gaps in accuracy can have serious consequences.
What industries use emergency mustering systems?
Emergency mustering RTLS is used across oil and gas, manufacturing, construction, mining, healthcare, data centers, and any large facility where accounting for all personnel during an evacuation is a regulatory or operational requirement. It is particularly critical in high-hazard environments where evacuation scenarios are complex.
Does mustering RTLS meet safety regulations?
Yes. Automated mustering systems support compliance with OSHA emergency action plan requirements, ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standards, and site-specific safety protocols that require documented personnel accountability during emergencies. The system produces time-stamped records of every muster event for audit and compliance purposes.
Can the system track contractors and visitors during a muster?
Yes. Any person issued a tag is tracked by the system, including contractors, visitors, and temporary workers. This is particularly important in facilities where a significant portion of the on-site population may not be regular employees and therefore less familiar with evacuation procedures.
Can the same RTLS platform support other safety use cases?
Yes. The same infrastructure supports connected worker safety, lone worker protection, asset tracking, and forklift safety monitoring, all without requiring separate systems for each use case.
