Think about a typical construction worksite. It has multiple stories with horizontal and vertical spaces. It extends high above the ground and below ground. Almost every day, it’s growing and changing thanks to the different crews of construction workers coming and going. And, it has multiple access points that require monitoring, which sometimes go without.

For a Construction Worker Safety Manager (or any project stakeholder), having the right Construction Access Control System in place is what separates a dream experience from a potential nightmare.

5 Tips for Creating Your Best Construction Access Control System:

• To effectively manage construction worksite access, your system needs to be designed to manage location access in areas with and without physical barriers. Physical barriers like turnstiles, secure doors, and gates aren’t enough.
• Avoid locally managed dependent systems. They’re known to cause operational issues and costly downtime bottlenecks during system reboots. Most require uninterrupted WIFI or steady CAT5 connection and frequent software updates.
• Save time and avoid unnecessary stress by streamlining your registration construction data, badging process, construction access control, and construction data collection in one centralized construction workforce management software solution. A more accessible site directory of everyone on your worksite combined with real-time monitoring means better construction workforce visibility and management day-by-day.
• Enable flexible and secure zone access for enhanced construction worker safety and security. By establishing zones on your worksite within a cloud-based platform, you can see real-time attendance and monitor activity across your entire construction project from virtually anywhere, any time.
• Give your construction worker safety and security teams the ability to set custom construction worker safety alerts. Key Person Alerts via text message can inform you if certain people are showing up on-site or not within certain timeframes. Unauthorized Person Alerts can immediately inform you of people that shouldn’t be in certain areas on your worksite.
