The future of construction site security in the UK<\/a> conjures up two contrasting images:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For the optimists out there, you may be thinking that access control technology<\/a> and increased site efficiencies<\/a> will help contribute to safer, more secure and productive construction sites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, for the pessimists (or, some would argue, the realists), the picture is very different.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Unauthorised access, theft and vandalism continue to cost the construction industry millions each year. The social and economic unrest that has occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, some would argue, will continue to make construction sites more vulnerable for months (or even years).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Will this negatively affect my projects\u2019 security? Are people more likely to commit acts of crime out of sheer desperation?<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Perhaps the view should be less about the\u00a0future and more about what construction site managers can do now<\/strong> to make the future of construction site security a little brighter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In this post, we explore some of the things that are likely to enhance security on construction sites for now and in the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Construction Site Access Control<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Construction site access provision usually conjures-up images of individuals entering a site using a keypad password or card. However, in recent years, there have been a growing number of technological advances applied in the field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is all centred around the integration of biometrics in turnstiles<\/a> to create a much more streamlined and efficient signing in and clocking out process for individuals entering and leaving a construction site.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Below, we\u2019ll briefly mention some of the efficiencies that are achievable with biometric turnstiles:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
