We’ll help you monitor for compliance, operator safety, and productivity while listening to your individual concerns.
Hoosier Security can help leverage your access control for additional checks and balances, which allows for the assurance that only workers who meet compliance goals and mandates can access certain equipment or parts of your facility. There’s nothing worse than having personnel who aren’t fully trained or up-to-date on their certifications to work with high-tech machinery. In essence, these machines and industrial process areas should be off limits if you don’t have the credentials. Not only is it a safety issue, but it could lead to liability problems.
Cards, keypads or proximity (hands-free) readers can be used to control machinery in addition to restricting untrained personnel from using and possibly damaging sophisticated and expensive capital equipment. It can also go a step further, and prohibit or restrict access by personnel who had formerly been certified to use the machinery, but perhaps had not received their latest recertification or compliance approval. Best of all, you can use the same proximity card or other access control credential that’s used throughout the facility for other areas without having to add hardware.
We simply implement changes in the access control programming software and scheduling to limit access to those employees who don’t have their current certification or even those who haven’t updated their password. In addition to compliance, access control can be used to improve safety around dangerous equipment, turn machinery off, and lower speeds after long periods of inactivity to reduce energy consumption. It can also be used to gather productivity data by auditing the use of machinery by employees.
As you can see, access control specifications are the mainstay of traditional security and this product category continues to grow. According to market research firm IHS Inc., “Access control will continue to trend upwards with about 65 percent of the projects cited worldwide having 10 doors or less.”
Hoosier Security provides leading manufacturer’s technologies, but we will always custom design the specifications to meet your individual needs and challenges. No matter if you have a 1- to 4-door application or an enterprise solution with multiple doors and myriad locations, we can show you additional ways to leverage your current access control beyond restricting access for security only. We understand access control and that translates in our ability to custom design a system that works for you.
Customize design is our sweet spot and we take great pride in listening to our customers and finding out from what they would like out of their system. Contact us today to find out how you can leverage your current system or add access control as an effective compliance monitor to your security protocol.
