In today’s society security is a major consideration for all multiple and single site utilities organisations. Combating threats is the responsibility of everyone on staff as day to day security priorities are still paramount to maintain continuity of supply.

G4S Technology work with some of the world’s major utilities supplier providing tailored security solutions specific to individual site requirements.

What’s Your Greatest Security Concern?
 

Visitor monitoring
Symmetry Visitor Management enables staff to enroll visitors and contractors, capture their photograph, issue an ID badge, assign to responsible employees and monitor their movements throughout the building. Quick data transfer rates ensure processing new visitors is exceptionally fast.

Protection of staff
The Symmetry Security Management System takes the safety of staff as a priority, especially lone worker sites. The tightly integrated access control and video solution allow any situation to be monitored before an incident occurs to reduce staff risk or injury.

Multiple site compatibility
Symmetry Security Management System provides flexibility and choice, both at initial installation and as the system develops and expands. Management of multi-site facilities, including unmanned sites, can be centrally controlled providing seamless security solutions with maximum flexibility and unlimited room for growth.

Continuity of supply
The Alarm Management feature within the Symmetry Security Management Solution incorporates an Incident Management capability. This feature enables staff to quickly view, acknowledge and respond as a result of an alarm being triggered or an incident which may affect the continuity of supply.

Secure area access control
Where access to buildings or departments is limited or controlled, the Symmetry Security Management System can use biometric fingerprint readers which will add an extra layer of security, by ensuring it is definitely the right person entering. Alternatively the partition feature allows individual departments to assign specific access rights for visitors, contractors and staff.

Terrorism
With the current threat level at ‘substantial’ with strong possibility of attack, the Symmetry Security Management Solution with Threat Level Management enables security staff to quickly respond should the threat level change, initialising pre-programmed controls covering access control, visitor management, biometrics and CCTV.

 

A key benefit of the GiroVend cashless payment solution across all sectors is the efficiency and speed of transactions (on average GiroVend cashless payments are up to a third quicker than cash). Card users spend less time queuing at the till and thus are able to better utilise their break times. The restriction on personal belongings in specific areas (often access controlled areas) is eased as staff ID / access control card can also operate as an electronic purse, creating a comprehensive single card solution. The ease and efficiency of cashless payments encourage staff to use on-site catering facilities as they spend less time queuing and are able to better utilise their breaks.
