Access Control


Saving Precious Time

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT or "red tagging" (also known as clearance tagging) is the critical procedure followed to ensure that equipment at the Fayette Power Project's three coal-fired generating units near La Grange, Texas, are safely shut down and energy sources isolated to prevent accidental release of stored energy, making it safe for their maintenance staff to begin working on equipment.

Playing on the Positive Side of Human Nature

MOST retailers are acutely aware of the impact employee theft has on their business. According to the University of Florida 2004 National Retail Security Survey, 47 percent of all shrink is attributed to employee theft.

Security Simplified

FOR its new Medical Arts & Research Building, the University of Connecticut standardized on a security system by using a simplified approach that combines after-hours electronic perimeter access control with interior mechanical locking. By effectively managing the access to the building itself, a less-complicated keying system that still provides the desired level of security can be used inside.
