EQUIPMENT ACCESS CONTROL

Peace of mind knowing you can control who is operating your equipment, even when you are not there

Your equipment is an important asset to your business, but in the wrong hands can be very dangerous. Every year, hundreds of workplace accidents are attributed to equipment driven by unqualified or unlicensed operators. As a business owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that your equipment is inaccessible to unlicensed operators. Hiding keys is insufficient to comply with the OH&S standard.

Some common scenarios for forklift incidents which result in injury or fatality involve:

• Collisions with pedestrians and loads falling onto pedestrians (29% of injuries, 56% of fatalities)
• Rollovers and unexpected movement of forklifts crushing operators (29% of fatalities)
• Persons falling from makeshift platforms elevated on forklift fork arms (12% of fatalities)
• Slips, trips and falls getting on and off forklifts (operators) (27% of injuries)
• Body stressing (sprains and strains) while driving forklifts (operators) (19% of injuries)

These issues can be mitigated with:

• Control who operates your equipment via PIN codes or RFID swipe cards
• Access control can be preconfigured or integrated with existing site based RFID security access
• Know who was operating equipment and when
• Manage equipment access more immediately and conveniently from anywhere via the internet
• Eliminate accidents by unlicensed operators and achieve greater OH&S compliance
