Upgrading Construction Site Safety: A Major Update to the 1Breadcrumb Evacuations Tool

Emergencies don’t wait. When a construction site needs to be evacuated, every second counts. That’s why we built our Evacuations tool—to give site teams a fast, reliable way to run emergency roll calls and ensure everyone is safe.
Now, we’ve taken it even further. With real-time alerts, direct communication, and seamless Procore integration, the latest upgrade to our Evacuations tool makes emergency response smoother, smarter, and more effective than ever.
What the Evacuations Tool Already Did
Before this upgrade, our Evacuations tool provided a structured way for admins to manage site evacuations, helping them:
✅ Communicate an evacuation via the Site Alerts tool
✅ Automatically generate a live roll call using Attendance data
✅ Check off workers as they arrived at the muster point
✅ Review past evacuations for audits and compliance
This system ensured that every evacuation—whether real or a drill—was tracked and documented for full accountability. But we knew there was more we could do to streamline the process.
What’s New
Our latest upgrade makes the Evacuations tool even more powerful by enabling direct communication and real-time alerts from within the tool itself.
🚨 Send Instant Alerts – When an admin starts an evacuation, they can now trigger a customised alert to everyone on site, removing the need for separate tools or extra steps.
📞 Call & Message Workers from the Roll Call – If someone hasn’t checked in as safe, admins can now call or message them directly from the evacuation screen, helping to resolve situations faster.
📝 Add Notes for More Detailed Reporting – Need to document why an evacuation was called, any issues that occurred, or special instructions? Notes can now be added directly to the evacuation record.
🔗 Procore Integration for a Single Source of Truth – Evacuation reports are now automatically synced with the Procore Documents tool, ensuring that compliance records are always up-to-date and easily accessible.
Why a Strong Evacuation System Matters
Construction sites are dynamic, high-risk environments where clear emergency procedures aren’t just useful—they’re essential. In an actual emergency, confusion can lead to delays, and delays can cost lives. A digital, real-time evacuation system ensures that workers can be accounted for as quickly as possible, reducing risk and improving site-wide communication.
Beyond safety, compliance is a major factor. Workplace safety regulators require companies to have clear emergency protocols in place. If an evacuation isn’t handled properly, companies risk facing legal repercussions, fines, and reputational damage.
With the new and improved Evacuations tool, 1Breadcrumb is giving construction teams the tools they need to react faster, communicate better, and ensure compliance—all from a single, easy-to-use platform.
Stay Safe, Stay Compliant
Emergencies are unpredictable, but your response doesn’t have to be. With 1Breadcrumb’s upgraded Evacuations tool, site teams can execute evacuations with confidence, ensure every worker is accounted for, and keep records effortlessly.
