As an employer, business owner or building manager, security is always a concern. No matter the size of your operation, the security and comfort of your staff is something that should always be considered. One means of increasing the effectiveness of your security, whilst simultaneously making your employees’ lives easier, is to implement an access control system in your building. Put simply, an access control system works by allowing and restricting access to a building, room or other space. They are electronically powered and often utilise keycards or numerical pin pads.
Here are Ace Fire & Security’s top 3 benefits of Access Control Systems.
First and foremost, installing an access control system is sure to increase the security of your premises for a number of reasons. Not only does it keep out unwanted visitors and reduce the likelihood of theft and break-ins, but you are also able to keep track of which staff enter and leave your premises.
What’s more, access control systems can be programmed to only allow certain staff access to restricted areas, furthering the security of your business.
In addition to the added security, access control systems make your employees’ lives easier. They will no longer have to worry about keys or office opening hours, allowing them to work when they need to. As well as the ease of entrance provided, it also means that employees can easily have their access restricted once they no longer need to enter certain areas to do their jobs.
Finally, access control systems can save you time and money in the long run. By using an electronic system, there is no need for a security guard or sign-in sheet within a building; access is monitored and logged. Moreover, the added security could mean reduced insurance and energy costs as lights and heating can be programmed to operate only when there are staff on-site.
