Streamline Business Health & Safety Protocols with Biometric Access Control

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted even more how a business's health and safety protocols are crucial in order to guarantee both employee and customer health.

This article provides solutions to streamline business health and safety protocols through the use of Biometric Access Control Systems such as Facial Recognition Access Control and Fingerprint Access Control.

Biometric Access Control Systems

The Coronavirus pandemic has taught us how easy it is to contract viruses and infections even when the health and safety protocols, such as wearing a mask or washing hands often, are followed. This led to numerous Covid-19 outbreaks in offices or in working locations, with as consequence a shortage of staff at work and ultimately, causing the country to be in lockdown.

Biometric Access Control Systems, such as Facial Recognition Access Control and Fingerprint Access Control, not only provide greater security in the workplace but also streamline corporate health and safety protocols.

Facial Recognition Access Control

Facial Recognition Access Control is a biometric access control system which is able to identify specific and distinctive details of a person’s face, such as the distance between the eyes or the shape of the chin, by advanced computer algorithms. The access control terminal will grant or deny access to the person depending on whether they match the information stored in the database. Facial recognition access control allows employees or employers to be granted access into specific areas within a building/workplace completely touch-free. This contactless method of entry heightens your business's safety and ensures unwanted diseases have less chance of being spread around the workplace.

A facial recognition access control system also ensures the highest level of security as it is able to distinguish a real face from a photograph thanks to the live face detection feature and to the fact that it does not require a Smart Card. The technology is so advanced that it is able to recognise distinctive details of a face even if the person is wearing hats or sunglasses, preventing employees from clocking each other in/out of shifts and ensures the highest system security in the market.

Finally, the device is supported by our WinAC.NET Access Control Software, which is a software that stores all of the access control data of individuals who require access through a specific point or single door.

Thermal Detection Access Control and Touch Free Entry

As far as Covid-19 health and safety protocols are concerned, Facial Recognition Access Control is the most modern and up-to-date product when it comes to ensuring the health and safety of employees. Indeed, with Thermal Detection Access Control, Facial Recognition Access Control terminals deny access if a temperature higher than the threshold is identified. This ultimately prevents your business from allowing viruses and diseases such as Covid-19 into your workplace.

Touch Free entry does what it says on the tin. By allowing members of staff to gain access and egress into or from the workplace, it minimises the need for staff to contaminate the access points and door handles which, again, massively improves any businesses health and safety.
