Fire drills are essential for workplace safety, but managing roll call sheets with pen and paper can be time-consuming, error-prone, and hard to track. Today’s workplaces demand smarter solutions, and mobile-optimized Power Apps fire drill roll call sheets — like the one shown below — deliver exactly that.

What Is a Fire Drill Roll Call Sheet?

A fire drill roll call sheet is a tool used to record attendance and verify the safety of all staff members during an evacuation. Traditional paper sheets are cumbersome, but digital solutions streamline the process significantly. The example above illustrates a modern, mobile-friendly Power Apps solution, designed for fast, accurate roll calls.
