Alcoholtesting is key option
February 1st 2009 Traka's intelligent key management
system now offers compulsory
alcohol testing as an option,
restricting access to keys until the user
has passed a breath test. Using the
Home Office-approved GB Alcolock
500 tester, the Traka system will
ensure drivers or operatives of any
piece of potentially hazardous
equipment pass a breath test before
keys can be withdrawn. Testing can
be compulsory for every user or set
to test a random sample of users.
Initial access to the Traka cabinet
is restricted to authorised users,
ensuring only designated staff have
access to vehicles or equipment.
Once the cabinet has been opened
(using PIN, access card or biometrics
reader) the user can select the
required key but, before it is released,
he or she has to blow into the
Alcolock. Just a five-second blow will
confirm a Pass or Fail: passing will
release the key; failure will lock it in
place and log the user's name on the
Traka database. More articles from Traka Plc: |
