EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND LOCATION TRACKING SYSTEM USING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) TECHNOLOGY

Companies have forever been trying to improve their workplace HSE but occupational
health and safety records are never perfect because accidents are unexpected. Traditional
emergency response plan to alert the emergency response team and evacuate staffs from
the vicinity of danger has its inefficiencies. It is found that the traditional emergency
response system is slow and may introduce miscommunication. The major finding is that
many existing emergency response system does not include human factor in its design.
Existing evacuation plan does not take into account those people that may still be
trapped inside the building.
