Key Features of Access Control for Construction Sites 

Our access control features span wide, we offer key integrations so you can rest assured that you’re getting the help you need with keeping your construction site safe. Our top 3 most sought after features include…

#1 CSCS Card Scanner: Pre Enrolment Tool  

Our Pre-Enrolment scanner enables you to scan any CSCS card when workers arrive on site and drastically reduces time for induction. 

Log in details can be forwarded to enable workers to populate personnel information and reduce the amount of time it takes to conduct onsite induction for workers and managers. 

If you are having issues with workers presenting fake cards our CSCS card scanner will help to identify this by using both contactless RFID and chip based CSCS card scanning. Our unique interface with the CSCS register allows it to detect clone cards, therefore denying access to un-inducted personnel.

#2 Biometric Access Control

As an approved IEVO installer, our biometric systems give you a fast, reliable and cost effective access control solution for your construction sites security. 

Using one of the most reliable fingerprint readers available the system is able to store up to 20,000 users on a single installation, removing the problem of purchasing and distributing cards or fobs which may be lost or shared by users. 

The security system is designed specifically for the construction industry and has been tested in environments where dusty, dirty or worn fingerprints will be commonly found. 

We provide everything you need including a separate reader for induction purposes, allowing you to log new users without slowing down staff on site.

We use readers that are tried and tested. Having experienced first-hand the shortcomings of existing biometric technologies, collectively we began offering facial recognition technology that allows for not only a more hygienic approach to access control, but a more accurate one too.

Designed with the construction environment in mind the system boasts a durable ergonomic casing, unrivalled reliability in reading prints, plus a robust exterior which virtually eliminates your need to worry about vandalism, spoof fingerprints or rejection rates because of harsh environments.

The system can be upgraded to log staff details and also track CSCS expiry dates, automatically refusing those not permitted or qualified to work on site, aiding in health and safety conformity.

Recording in real time, the system can also provide accurate roll calls following any incidents on a construction site where evacuation is required.The list is endless when we think about the benefits of biometric access control, so step into the modern world of security with us at HardHat.

#3 Turnstile Access Control

Our access Control is specially designed for security on construction sites.

Our bespoke cabins deliver the highest levels of site security for construction sites and functionality. Provided as complete units, they can be installed in a single day ensuring you receive the protection you need right from when you need it. 

We can install any of our construction site access systems in the cabins and link these to a single galvanised turnstile for a secure single point entry and exit system. 

As well as this, the cabin can also be locked when not in use, completely closing all access points to the construction site increasing security.

The cabin can be customised to your requirements including bespoke paintwork to both the interior and exterior of the unit; we also install hand gel stations for cleanliness and also to improve the reliability of the sensors.
