Hi,

We're a manufacturing company that operates a day and afternoon shift. The bulk of the team are on day shift (120) with the remainder (30) on afternoons. My question relates to what process is followed by other companies when it is necessary to contact the next of kin (e.g. a medical emergency)? I am particularly interested in how this would work if it happens out of hours (i.e. the pay office who control the information, have gone home) and if so, what measures are used to keep the next of kin information controlled to a certain level within the organisation. Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks,
Niko
