Smart card clocking network aids staff health and safety

Yesterday (March 12, 2012) a plant in Cornwall had to be evacuated of many of its employees. The casualties have been taken to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro complaining of symptoms like vomiting and confusion in a case of suspected gas poisoning. Staff working in the vegetable packing area at Riviera Produce at Connor Downs began to complain of “feeling unwell” at about noon. Seventeen have been taken ill so far including two ambulance staff.

Time and Attendance South West takes care of your staff’s health and safety provision using our Smart Card based clocking and entry networks. A typical set up is shown with two smart card readers to control entry and exit. This gives better management control as the T3511 controller can differentiate which reader was used so you know who is left in the building. This is essential for producing an accurate Fire Roll Call register. A break glass unit unlocks the door, from the inside, in an emergency.
