Maintaining security in buildings can be a difficult task to do because of the high volume of visitors that come in and out daily. Access and entry to buildings must be controlled in order to maintain a certain level of security for all building staff and visitors and to avoid any untoward incidents to happen.

Access control in essence refers to the means of managing access of people and vehicles, wherever appropriate, to buildings, car parks, and other vulnerable or sensitive areas.

Entry control has always been a crucial factor in crime prevention, but the current heightened awareness of security and potential terrorist threats awareness of the need to control entrance to buildings and compounds is at the forefront of people’s minds

It is essential that employees and assets are protected in the workplace and that all the company’s efforts to develop new materials, products, and processes be not wasted due to theft, vandalism or even terrorism.
