Construction sites are high-risk environments, and without controlled access, they become vulnerable to theft, unauthorized entry, and safety hazards. Turnstiles create a secure perimeter by ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter, keeping trespassers out and reducing liability risks. By requiring valid credentials such as badges, biometrics, or mobile access, you gain full control over who steps onto your site. With a logged audit trail of every entry and exit, you can quickly identify security breaches and ensure accountability. Built for rugged outdoor conditions, these turnstiles withstand the demands of construction sites while providing a scalable solution for projects of any size.
Turnstiles do more than just control access—they provide real-time workforce data that construction managers can use to track attendance, monitor job site activity, and ensure workers are where they need to be. By integrating with workforce management software, construction turnstiles allow you to verify OSHA and other safety certifications, confirm that only trained professionals are present for specific tasks, and prevent unauthorized trades from working in the wrong areas. Timestamps for clocking in and out provide accurate labor tracking, reducing payroll discrepancies and time fraud. With this data, you can optimize labor resources, improve job site efficiency, and make informed decisions based on actual workforce activity.
Regulatory compliance is a growing challenge in the construction industry, and cities across the country are enforcing stricter access control requirements. In major metro areas like New York City, Local Law 196 requires construction workers to carry valid Site Safety Training (SST) cards, and inspectors can issue heavy fines if unqualified workers are found on-site—or if site managers can’t immediately provide records of who is present. Other cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston, have implemented similar safety and labor laws requiring detailed workforce tracking and credential verification.
Turnstiles provide an automated, foolproof way to ensure compliance. By linking access control to worker certifications, they prevent anyone without up-to-date training from entering the site in the first place. In the event of an inspection, site managers can instantly generate reports showing exactly who is on-site, their trade, and whether they meet the required safety standards—eliminating the risk of costly fines and work stoppages. Designed to accommodate all workers, including those with disabilities, these turnstiles provide ADA-compliant entry without the need for a separate accessibility gate. Whether you need to meet insurance requirements, comply with local regulations, or simply improve safety oversight, turnstiles provide a reliable, automated solution that keeps your project on track.
