You need to make sure that your workers have the relevant certifications, training and authorizations before they&nbsp;have access to potentially hazardous or sensitive work areas.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be tricky to manage. You might have hundreds of workers accessing the site, both your own employees and contractors. How can you ensure that all are compliant and successfully fulfil&nbsp;induction and orientation requirements?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can achieve this through&nbsp;<strong>Access Control.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/cta\/redirect\/144606870\/6f5606a1-ff4d-4993-92e1-81b431eea869\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/6f5606a1-ff4d-4993-92e1-81b431eea869-8.webp\" alt=\"6f5606a1-ff4d-4993-92e1-81b431eea869.png\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">What is Access Control?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To put it simply,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehstoday.com\/emergency-management\/article\/21911685\/access-control-a-new-type-of-security-platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Access Control<\/a>\u00a0is a protective\u00a0measure that controls or limits access to a workspace or asset. This can be achieved through a variety of methods.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what you might typically envisage when considering the term \u2018Access Control\u2019:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Barriers such as locks, gates, doors, or turnstiles.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entrances that are manned by security personnel.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal access devices like pin codes, ID cards.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biometric identifiers like fingerprints or retinal scans.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rapidly developing technology has led to access control becoming more sophisticated. For example, in a large tech company it\u2019s unlikely that just anyone would be granted access to a server&nbsp;room. Permissions are therefore set up that allow only IT specialists entry, but no other employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example would be in a large chemical manufacturing plant. Workers involved in the distribution of the products are not going to require access to the factory floor and the potentially&nbsp;hazardous environments therein.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access control also plays a vital role in reducing safety risks to employees, contractors and the public.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Access control and safety training&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a health and safety context, access control can be used to ensure that only workers with the correct credentials and relevant training have access to a specific work&nbsp;site.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you are the manager of a busy construction site. In the US\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/opub\/ted\/2023\/construction-deaths-due-to-falls-slips-and-trips-increased-5-9-percent-in-2021.htm#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20nearly%201%20in,slips%2C%20and%20trips%20in%202021.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">construction deaths due to falls, slips, and trips increased 5.9 percent in 2021<\/a>, and there will be pressure to ensure that all workers have the relevant safety training. To\u00a0facilitate this, you have created a\u00a0safety training programme\u00a0and site onboarding that has to completed\u00a0before they arrive onsite. Your business may also decide that the following voluntary certification is required:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.360training.com\/blog\/what-is-dol-card\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DOL\/OSHA card<\/a>\u00a0(US)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cca-acc.com\/workforce-excellence\/gold-seal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Canadian Construction Association\u2019s (CCA) Gold Seal Certification (Canada)<\/a>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You might have dozens of workers scheduled to come on site over the duration of the project, amongst them contractors from several different companies. Contractors in particular are unlikely&nbsp;to be familiar with the layout of the site. How will you manage the volume of people coming through and accompanying documentation?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilizing&nbsp;an access management system that integrates with your safety training system means that you can prevent access to the worksite to workers or contractors who do not meet&nbsp;your training requirements, or do not have valid documentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, the workers and contractors who fulfil all the requirements gain entry. Those who do not, remain off- site until they do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pillar20420-20Learning20and20Training20-20Employee20Profile-6.webp\" alt=\"Pillar%204%20-%20Learning%20and%20Training%20-%20Employee%20Profile.png?width=624&amp;height=394&amp;name=Pillar%204%20-%20Learning%20and%20Training%20-%20Employee%20Profile.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A system such as this would also provide oversight as to when training is due to expire, meaning that you can always have a plan to refresh employee training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Implementing access zones&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going back to a manufacturing plant example, this is case where implementing access zones can be hugely beneficial. A pharmaceutical plant would likely contain not only the manufacturing&nbsp;plant, but research laboratories, offices and external storage and warehouses. You will need to make sure that all employees have the appropriate access levels for their&nbsp;role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we take a closer look at the manufacturing plant itself, this could require multiple access zones due to the nature of the work being carried out. You may decide that all workers require&nbsp;training in HVACs and Cleanrooms. If there is an area where cell cultures are being propagated, training requirements might include Bioprocessing courses.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up training requirements for different working zones in the same area decreases the chances of untrained workers engaging in potentially hazardous or destructive&nbsp;activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pillar20420-20Learning20and20Training20-20Blog20-20Zones-6.webp\" alt=\"Pillar%204%20-%20Learning%20and%20Training%20-%20Blog%20-%20Zones.png?width=584&amp;height=437&amp;name=Pillar%204%20-%20Learning%20and%20Training%20-%20Blog%20-%20Zones.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Conclusion&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers in the US have legal obligations under the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/laws-regs\/oshact\/completeoshact#:~:text=To%20assure%20safe%20and%20healthful,education%2C%20and%20training%20in%20the\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">OSH Act 1970<\/a>\u00a0to provide adequate\u00a0safety training to their employees, and also must ensure that contractors onsite are compliant.
