Managing a Multi-Contractor Workforce

Construction sites present workforce management challenges found in no other sector. Every day, construction projects may be presented with hundreds of new workers, with some holding the required CSCS cards, but others not. Without a reliable system upon arrival, contractors lose visibility of who's on site, which is a key requirement for safety management and a requirement under the building safety act.

"The Building Safety Act 2022 requires principal contractors to maintain a complete current digital record of all workers on higher-risk buildings and their relevant competencies."

Staying compliant with Access Control

Synel provides access control that works in real operational environments, from a single secure door to complex, multi-site estates. By using biometrics, cards and mobile credentials, you can manage who enters your buildings, Additionally, every access event is logged automatically, creating a complete audit trail for security, health and safety, and compliance.
