curcurPlate for real time whereabouts information

Abstract

The Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Office of the School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo has been developing an on-line system for administration of people and equipment (Environmental Health and Safety Administration System (EHSAS)). The system records and manages machine facilities, safety courses, in addition to the base information of personnel, organizations, and locations. The system registers their relations among the information like machine ownership and location, people’s affiliation, and real time on-campus information of where people are. This paper reports about the whereabouts information tool that is critical in case of an accident that requires personnel evacuation. At times of such evacuations, managers need to find whereabouts of all members and the central safety office, if buildings have been thoroughly evacuated. Our new development added a function for lab managers to take roll calls in case of evacuations, and for the Disaster Prevention Center, an overall view function for displaying who is where on the entire campus. Individual users can edit their whereabouts history and make some statistical evaluations.
