What does digital evacuation actually look like?
In our recent webinar, Elin Bradway and founder Jimmy Laakso walked through what's replacing 70-year-old evacuation methods. Jimmy brought his 25 years in construction – from concrete worker to project engineer – to explain why now is the breaking point.
Most sites still use:
Man-to-man communication (shouting to the next person)
Air horns and whistles
Provisional fire alarms that need constant battery changes
Morning meetings where information gets lost in translation
How It Actually Works
Throughout the webinar, Elin and Jimmy demonstrated how SafeSite puts an evacuation button in every worker's pocket. Something they already have and actually care about – their phone.
Three core functions keep it simple:
1. Evacuation button: Hold for three seconds. Every phone on site reacts. Music playing? Phone on silent? Doesn't matter. Critical alerts override everything.
2. Help button: Reaches whoever's responsible on site without alarming everyone. Ideal for injuries or situations that don't require full evacuation. Includes escalation if the first person doesn't respond.
3. Mass messaging: Send updates to everyone on site. Automatic translation to each worker's phone language. If you're off sick, you don't get the notification but can read it later.
Is privacy at stake with this new soulution?
Here's what changes the conversation with unions and workers: location only opens up during active alarms.
Normal operations? The system knows you're in the zone (on site) but not your specific position. No tracking bathroom breaks. No monitoring who's in the break room.
Emergency alarm? Then your exact location becomes visible so coworkers and rescue services can find you.
What Rescue Services Need
The presenters explained how the real-time tracking feature was developed together with rescue services. They need to know: Is someone 2 meters inside or 10 floors up? Should they enter immediately or assess first?
The digital APD (evacuation) plan updates across all phones when the site layout changes. Because unlike permanent buildings, construction sites morph constantly.
What's Coming Next
This is where the webinar gets interesting. Elin and Jimmy previewed features launching soon that change how entire organizations manage safety across multiple sites.
The organization administrator dashboard – multi-site overview, real-time statistics, and actual data on worked hours per project.
Also in development:
Digital visitor logs that integrate with emergency systems
Solo work check-ins for those working alone
AI analysis of evacuation patterns to identify bottlenecks
Centralized document management for safety plans
The 13-minute webinar with Elin Bradway and Jimmy Laakso shows how geo-zones work, integration with existing alarm systems, and why workers actually want to use this instead of resisting it.
