It\u2019s a sad fact that in the UK, construction sites are increasingly subjected to theft, vandalism and health and safety neglect. In fact, Allianz Cornhill<\/a> recently revealed that theft alone costs the construction industry \u00a3800M a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To dramatically reduce the risk of your site falling victim to such painful access control issues, you need a solution that is efficient to implement and, most importantly, effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we\u2019ll explore how advanced technology biometric turnstiles<\/strong><\/a> can improve construction site security<\/a> by using the latest access control scanning features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biometric Technology for Construction Site Turnstiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The statistic above is enough to make construction site managers re-think their access control measures<\/a> for construction site security. Traditionally, access control cards or fingerprint scanners have been the \u2018go to\u2019 solutions, but as the security landscape changes (along with the need for COVID-19 compliance), these measures are becoming inadequate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One technology that is proving to be successful is biometrics-based access control turnstiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction Site Turnstiles With Scanning Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right now, there are several types of biometric technologies in use. These include fingerprints and hand geometry. However, in the COVID-19 world, more and more organisations are utilising contactless biometric technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help minimise the number of surfaces that users touch on entry and exit of the site. This will potentially reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature testing technology is also a key feature to look out for. More on this later\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction Site Turnstiles with Contactless Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When specifying turnstiles for your construction site, contactless access will be a key feature to look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, what does contactless access look like in turnstiles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A turnstile that has face recognition technology \u2013 such as FaceStation F2<\/a> – integrated will be the first feature to note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FaceStation F2 has a number of advantages to help construction site managers ensure effective access control and COVID-19 compliance. Here\u2019s a brief outline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
