Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service is to implement a biometric-based rostering system from January 2006.

Cost savings of £2m-2.5m in cost efficiencies are expected by the service.

When a fireman arrives at work, Manchester's central crewing function will be informed.

The biometric bit involves the firefighters putting their hand on to a biometric scanner.

Smart Human Logistics are to supply the scanners.
