What measures can be put in place in order to ensure the safety of the business and its assets?
Access control systems
To secure such areas and to protect your business from the risks facing them Abloy recommends installing an access control system such as SMARTair.
The SMARTair access control system allows businesses to easily control and track who enters or exits through any door in a building, which reduces the risk of employees or members of the public committing burglary on the premises.
SMARTair is a modular fully scalable access control system that is incredibly simple to use and install, it doesnt require any wires or modification to walls. If youre looking to expand an existing system you can do that too. The solution is also cost effective and suitable for any amount of doors whilst still providing secure access for any application.
