complexities and safety is one of the major issues to be addressed. Be it personal or occupational safety, attention has been arrested of the authorities’
world wide. Lot of brain churning is being done for making safer world. Safety is serious issue and should be taken on priority. Mankind has witnessed severe consequences upon ignoring the importance of safety. One of the biggest tragedies we can name is “Bhopal Gas
Tragedy” where safety measures were ignored and which brought disaster. A government affidavit in 2006 stated the leak caused 558,125 injuries including 38,478 temporary partial injuries and approximately 3,900 severely and permanently disabling injurie. I would like to congratulate “INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW” for
dedicating their June 2014 issue for safety and would like to thank them for inviting me as a guest editor for the issue. A lot has to be done on the front of safety. The importance of safety
has to be prophesized by the authorities and laws should be stricter. Every individual should be educated safety as a syllabus so that this becomes a

habit to minimize causalities. Indian safety industry has graduated itself with impressive range of products to address the issue and help to make much safer environment, if measures are implemented properly. Safety must be imparted as habit not as law. Law can be ignored at point of time but habit can’t be part-with. SAMA has indulgence to promote safety for long on work place or otherwise. It has conducted seminars, conferences etc. to educate safety. This is high time we should talk and act seriously about safety. I once again congratulate “INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW” for their effort.

Pelican Products Canada holds a strong position among the top 50 Canadian Defence Companies
elican Products Canada, the global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance protective case solutions and advanced portable lighting systems, continues to hold a strong position on the Canadian Defence Review (CDR) Magazine’s list of TOP 50 Canadian Defence Companies. According to the survey results released by the CDR on Thursday, May 7th, Pelican Products ULC was ranked # 41. “We proudly serve the
Canadian Defence community with the highest quality products and services in the industry,” said Ed Meyer, Managing Director of Pelican Products Canada. “This prestigious recognition from our peers means a great deal to our amazing team.” This is the tenth annual ranking of CRD’s Canada’s Top Defence Companies and there were eight new organizations that made the group this year. As in past years, an evaluation panel consisting of
CDR editorial staff and independent advisors ranked the companies based on factors such as economic impact, innovation, contribution to the nation’s security, and support of Canada’s military. The complete list of 2014 Top 50 Canadian Defence Companies can be found at www. canadiandefencereview.com.
Schools urged to teach students how to stay healthy and safe at work With millions of students preparing to embark on work experience or their first jobs in the coming weeks and months, schools across the UK are being urged to take advantage of special offers on a British Safety Council qualification that teaches 14-19 year olds how to stay safe and healthy at work.
R
esearch shows that workers are far more likely to be injured in accidents in the first six months of a new job, and young people can be particularly at risk due to factors such as their unfamiliarity with hazards, a lack of physical capability and a reluctance to raise concerns. The number of young people killed and injured in the workplace remains disproportionately high. A young worker is 50% more likely to have an accident than an older worker. The British Safety Council’s Entry Level Award in Workplace Hazard Awareness is specifically designed for 14-19 year olds and builds students’ awareness of important health and safety issues before they embark on work experience or their first job. Schools

are being encouraged to take this up for the academic year 2014/15 with a number of offers until 31 October 2014 including a waiver of centre and qualification approval fees. Alex Botha, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, said: “The British Safety Council’s vision is that no one should be injured or made ill at work and it is a priority to reduce the risks young people face in the workplace. In the UK last
year 148 people died at work, 21,000 were seriously injured and around 27 million working days were lost due to work-related illness and workplace injury. Workplace injuries and ill health cost society at least an estimated £13.8 billion annually. “We recognise that safety is about people and education is essential. Our Ofqual-accredited qualification teaches young people how to keep themselves and their co-workers healthy and safe and encourages them to speak up if they have concerns about the hazards they are facing. I urge every school and academy across the UK to take advantage of our affordable way to educate young people to help prevent them from being killed, injured and made ill at work.”

British Safety Council launches Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour awards
to celebrate health, safety & environmental management excellence The British Safety Council has formally launched its prestigious 2014 Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour awards, designed to recognise and celebrate exemplary management of health, safety and environmental risks by businesses around the world.
T
he 2014 awards mark the 35th consecutive year of the Sword of Honour, awarded for health and safety management excellence, and the fifth year of the Globe of Honour, awarded for excellence in environmental management. These two awards are open to organisations from all countries and business sectors who have achieved the maximum five stars in the British Safety Council’s independent Five Star health, safety and environmental management audits in the period August 2013 – July 2014. To be awarded a Sword of Honour or Globe of Honour, an organisation must be able to demonstrate to an independent adjudication panel that they have a proven track record and a culture of best practice for excellence in health and safety or environmental management that runs throughout the business – from the shopfloor to the boardroom. The Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour are an important part of the British Safety Council’s drive to recognise and celebrate exemplary health, safety and environmental management in the workplace. Alex Botha, chief executive of the British Safety Council, said: “The Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour are highly prestigious accolades that recognise the huge commitment and effort of the winning organisations and their employees in achieving

and sustaining the highest standards of health, safety and environmental practice. “Sensible & proportionate health, safety and environmental management is of great social and economic value: it protects people and the environment and is good for business. “In order to achieve the vision of the British Safety Council, that no one should be injured or made ill at work, we need to publicise the example set by both Sword and Globe of Honour winners. Publicising the successful management approaches of Sword and Globe winners will help other organisations to focus on what they can do ensure that their health, safety and environmental risks are properly controlled. “I would urge any eligible organisation to apply for the Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour – both to celebrate their achievements in ensuring safe, healthy and sustainable workplaces and business activities; and to inspire other organisations around the world to strive for excellence in the management of health, safety and environmental risks.” The closing date for applications is 12 September 2014 and the results will be announced on 10 October 2014. Winning organisations can attend a celebratory luncheon on 28 November 2014 at the historic Drapers’ Hall in the City of London to receive their awards.
Last year, 68 Swords were awarded and eight organisations achieved the Globe of Honour. The winners were drawn from a wide range of business sectors in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and India, including construction, energy generation and distribution, financial services, manufacturing, oil and gas, retail, transport and utilities. In 2013, seven organisations won the ‘double’ – both the Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour. These were: AWE Construction; Dubai Electricity and Water Authority; Hargreaves Industrial Services (Liverpool Bulk Handling Terminal); Mace Ltd (Technology and Renewable Energy) Horizon Centre; Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Ltd; Unipart Consumer Logistics – Cowley; and United Biscuits – Midlands Distribution Centre. Other notable Sword and Globe winners in 2013 included Aston Martin Lagonda, Drydocks World Dubai, JCB Excavators, Lloyds Banking Group, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, Office Depot UK and the Wellcome Trust.

Fike launches new multi-function fire detector for its TWINFLEX®pro system
F
ike Safety Technology has introduced a new detector for its popular TWINFLEX®pro intelligent 2-wire fire alarm system. The Multipoint ASD detector has all of the features and benefits of the existing detector, including 7 modes of detection and optional built-in sounder, as well as a raft of additional features. The new detector includes an optional integral strobe, allowing the 2-wire installation of an advanced smoke/heat detector, sounder and strobe, in a single costsaving device. The Multipoint ASD detector incorporates a new advanced optical chamber for enhanced smoke detection and a simple LED in the base, which flashes when the detector head is removed. This enables users to easily identify which detector is missing even from considerable distance, e.g. in a high-ceiling building. Easier testing and maintenance at height is further simplified as the new head

is fully compatible with the industry standard Solo Detector Tester pole. the With TWINFLEX®pro whole system can easily be installed using only one pair of wires per zone - installation savings can be as high as 40%. As Multipoint ASD offers 7 different modes of detection, the installation is made even simpler since one device suits all applications. This versatile system has the ability to differentiate between call point and detector alarms; can accommodate up to 32 devices per zone; has a separate fault monitoring display for each zone; incorporates a man walk test facility and allows zones to be configured without the need to use resistors or capacitors. To make the TWINFLEX®pro system even more flexible, Fike can also provide a special Output Unit. This can be situated anywhere on the zone circuit and is ideal for connecting to equipment such as plant shutdown controls and door release mechanisms. Checkpoint Alarm Confirmation Technology is a feature of the system that has seen TWINFLEX®pro installed extensively in applications such as Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMO). This is a configurable pre-alarm that can be set on detectors in dwelling areas that allows time to investigate the cause of the alarm before building-wide evacuation is initiated. This can significantly reduce the disruption from nuisance alarms. For more information, Email: fstinfo@fike.com Web: www.fikesafetytech.co.uk.

Bodega Norton Winery HID Global, in partnership with system integrator Fundación Ada Byron (FAB), enhanced and streamlined the winery’s logistics and processes with a new solution that replaced a cumbersome, outdated tracking system used for compensating employees. This system was based on the manual distribution and collection of thousands of aluminum and plastic chips that tracked the amount of grapes picked by harvesters. With the new solution, each harvester is issued an armband equipped with a unique HID Global contactless card, grape collection bins are now tagged with HID Epoxy Disc tags and vineyard supervisors are outfitted with NFC-enabled smartphones. The system enables vineyard supervisors to simply place their smartphone next to the harvester’s armband triggering an audible beep that assures both the harvester and supervisor that the collection bin has been counted and credited to the appropriate harvester.

Steria Secures another new contract in India with the Allahabad police department
Steria has announced another new contract with India’s Uttar Pradesh (UP) Police to improve the efficiency of its Emergency Response and Security System in the city of Allahabad. Steria will provide a variety of support, integration and IT services that will enable a smarter resources allocation to address distress calls. This contract follows an earlier agreement signed in September 2013 with the UP Police for the city of Kanpur.
S
teria, a leading provider of ITenabled business services, announces the signing of another major contract with India’s Uttar Pradesh (UP) Police, which has selected Steria to help improve the efficiency of its Emergency Response and Security Surveillance System in the city of Allahabad. Steria will provide a variety of support, integration and IT services that will enable the police to make faster and smarter decisions on how it uses resources to respond to emergencies. Building from Steria’s vast experience on homeland security projects, the contract with the Allahabad Police will enable the city’s police department to improve the speed and efficiency of their Emergency Response (Command and Control) and Surveillance Systems. These systems are responsible for monitoring sensitive locations in the city and for addressing distress calls from 6 million citizens of Allahabad – which also hosts the famous Kumbh Mela every 6 years, where over 50 million people visit and take the holy dip in the Ganges River during a 55-day period. Under the new contract, Steria will provide integrated Computer Aided Dispatch platforms that will handle inbound ‘Dial-100’ citizen distress calls. The GIS-based (Geographical Information System) platform will capture caller information and location coordinates, and dispatch them to the nearest police

patrol vehicle for emergency handling. This new functionality will improve efficiency, reducing the time it takes to respond to calls and providing a better view of emergency situations for more efficient resource mobilisation and allocation. Steria will also implement CCTV Surveillance with advanced Video Analytics at 43 sensitive locations across the city of Allahabad. These locations will be monitored round the clock from a modernized control room with the help of OFC communications backbone. The project includes a systems integration phase, followed by two years of application support. Steria will work on the installation of the application software, the setup of data centre infrastructure, the system’s control room, network and connectivity. Steria has partnered with TCIL (Telecommunications Consultants India Ltd), a public sector telecommunications consultancy and engineering company that operates under the Ministry of Communications and IT, for the bid. This contract win reinforces Steria’s expertise as a reputed provider of IT solutions to India’s homeland security and transportation sectors. Sanjeev Varma, Senior Executive Vice-President, CEO India, comments: “The solution will provide the police force with a comprehensive real-time view of events across the city of Allahabad. With this crucial insight, emergency response teams
will be able to better assess needs, prioritise and coordinate actions and proactively deploy assets to address and potentially prevent multiple, complex incidents within the two cities. This win not only strengthens our position in the Homeland Security in India but it also helps create a new volume benchmark, which can be leveraged for similar opportunities in other Steria markets.” “The benefits of this solution are vast,” continues Varma. “The system’s unified view of incident data enables faster and smarter decision making with the ability to handle multiple situations simultaneously and reduce emergency response time substantially. It will also enable end-to-end coordination of emergency agencies and connect diverse first responder agencies with shared, inter-operable equipment and protocols.” Steria supports the transformation needed for police and emergency services to cost effectively operate their business and IT functions and step up their visibility in the community. We have pioneered new models in operational and back-office support, as well as in criminal justice. And our Contact Management, Command and Control, Mobility and Control room support services are enhancing citizen confidence. For more information, Web: www.steria.com

competition. In marketing and sales, we believe in strong distribution and channel network. We have nearly 600 + channel partners spread across the globe who are busy marketing, selling and supporting Matrix products. Not only in India but our products are available in other countries of Europe, America, Middle-East, Africa, Asia and Australia. Our marketing team works closely with these channel partners to ensure that the products serve the communication and security needs of the customers efficiently, faster and longer. We also have a special customer care department, which provides prompt assistance to the customers. Finally, we invest a lot of resources in after-sales support to the endcustomers and channel partners ensuring 100% satisfaction for all our customers.
Q. According to you what are the factors affecting to your business? The current Indian market is full of Chinese players which provide a wide range of products at low costs and with low quality. But the product life cycle of these products is much lesser in comparison to reliable and cost-effective products like Matrix. Lack of awareness about the low quality, low reliability & lack of features of the imported products among customers is making them to select a product which is only cheap initially without considering its return of investment over a 5 year period.
Q. What are the key technological trends that are driving the time –attendance and Access Control industry?
• Flexibility in connectivity in terms of wired and wireless • Need reliable hardware and flexible software • Integration with third party hardware & software applications • Reliable biometric technology support • On-demand report generation
Q. What is your vision for your company? Our vision is to build Matrix as a world-class security and telecom solutions and services company operating all over the world.
Q. What are the issues you need to address that are related to your industry? Security equipment business is tightly linked to the overall economic growth. Lack of customer acceptability of quality product due to price and low awareness about value deliverables of genuine security products hinders the growth. Imported products are inferior and very cheap due to the various direct and indirect subsidies the manufacturers are getting from their governments. A lot of customers initially buy these products due to cost, but remain unsatisfied with product quality and service. The government should start an awareness campaign highlighting the value that local manufacturers can provide and should set up a regulation to curb very low quality products. Moreover, the government should include policies which encourage more and more Indian electronic manufactures to enter this business by making it a level field.

Q. What is your marketing and channel strategy? The increasing demand for more specialized surveillance such as video management has led to the need for focused marketing, targeting specific solution for every customer. We plan to appoint more system integrations who can educate customers and offer the right solution with prompt support.
Q. What is your support strategy? Customer satisfaction & support is the key lifeline for this business. We strictly maintain timely support to our customers irrespective of how innovative & rugged the product is.
Q. What are the challenges that you are currently facing in India? Since the demand for CCTV in India is growing at a faster rate, there are many unorganized vendors importing inferior security products at lower prices to enter into this domain. Most of the Indian customers are therefore attracted by these low priced products due to lack of awareness about the product. Customers need to be educated and Government must implement standard norms to overcome such challenges.
Q. How much of growth are you expecting this year and are you also expecting any business from the overseas market? We have been growing by 20% year by year irrespective of the heavy fluctuation in the financial conditions of the market. However, with our expertise and the demand in near future we strongly expect to have a growth of about 25%.

Q. What is the history of SAMA when it started etc? Way back in 1972 few members in Mumbai who were manufacturing different (PPE) personnel protective equipment thought of meeting together and discuss to propagate use of PPE in industries. Using PPE one can advert incident/accident to minimize injuries. After two year it was spared all over India. Initially it was thought of only PPE manufacture to be member of the association but with views of other members it was decided that the firms who are service provide distributor and dealers can became members of this association. Today around 150 members from all over India has become a life member of association. Q. What was the prime objective SAMA has taken for the welfare of the industry in coming 5 years? New avenues are opened up in the fields of ‘Disaster Management’. Disaster till recently were viewed as isolated incident and considered emergencies with little focus on prevention, preparedness, reduction, mitigation and effective and appropriate early warning system. Therfore as vulnerability to disaster has increased we are now beginning to realize that greater attention has to be directed to reduce risks associated with them through improvement in operational capabilities and mitigation measures. It has now became more necessary and imperative for us not only to supplement but also play a positive role to prepare us and the community around for all types of disasters both natural and man-made.
Q. What impact of recession do you see on the safety industry? Truly there is no recession in PPE industries. Awareness has come to the industries and various govt. agencies are also implementing “Safety Culture” which leads of upliftment of use of PPE in industries. Multinational Players are now opening of their offices in India and their sales network is spread across major industrial cities which ultimately increase use of PPE in the Industries.
Q. Do you think the government polices are resourceful enough to
address safety issues? Government Policies are resourceful or active when there is Fatal/Serious disaster or an unforeseen condition prevails. It is also problem with them that they do not have enough manpower. Experts view says that unless top boss propagates: Safety Culture” in their organization then and then safety issues will be resolved.
Q. What more has to be done in terms of policies to make world safer? Developed countries are having very stringent rule and heavy penalties on any unwanted incidents/accidents and thus they take care of mankind. They have understood the value of man which is not prevailing in underdeveloped countries. As we have “WHO” i.e. taking care of Health of man all over world, so similar organization to start who will take care of safety of a man wherever he works whether he is in Industries, mines construction work or even walking on road.
Q. SAMA has brought “Safety Industry Directory” with DV Enterprise, what is the what is the objective & how will it help industry? SAMA has brought “Safety Directory” which is brought by D.V. Enterprise is started in the field first time. Time to come where in other aspects will be included in next issue where following matter will be included a) State wise manufacturer, dealers, Stockiest of PPE. b) Testing of PPE and testing of parts used in manufacturing of PPE. c) Organization who is taking different safety courses not only in India but across globally.
Q. What message would you like to give to the reader? We do have members who are exporting different PPE even in developing countries like USA, Europe Countries. Some members are experts in use of PPE in different activities. SAMA can give you solution or guidance to anybody on PPE.

Emerging issues and outcomes of Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) implementation Brief about the Author

Introduction Employees violate safety rules inside the company as children do in school. Employees begin compromising safety rules first by not wearing PPE (personal protective equipment) and gradually go up to violating the SOP (standard or safe operating procedures). These unsafe/ at-risk behaviours on part of employees commence the journey for injuries and fatalities (Kaila, 2012, 2014). According to security personnel of a company, “fifty percent of contract workers inside the plant are not wearing PPE; we could not enforce it at the company gate, as head of departments (HODs) would call us to allow them inside the plant without PPE as their work would suffer. On the other hand, the contract workers did not wear PPE as they were not provided with by their contractors and the safety department did not enforce penalty for the same on the contractors. This clearly reflects that they all joined to compromise with unsafe behaviours.” With the change of ownership from top to bottom level, safety culture in organizations has dramatically

Dr. H.L. Kaila is a Professor of Psychology, Mumbai. He has over 30 years professional experience and has to his credit several projects with ICSSR, UGC, NSC and World Health Organization; and has authored 12 books, and a large number of articles for refereed journals and newspapers. He has appeared several times on television for providing his expert views. Dr. Kaila represented India at the International Conferences at New York, Berlin, Rome, Oman, New Zealand and Sydney. He is an Editor of the Journal of Psychosocial Research. He is only industrial psychologist who is regular BBS trainer/ implementer and popularized BBS in India. Dr. H.L. Kaila conducted about 600 BBS training workshops for organizations such as ITC, ESSAR, RIL, Colourtex, Reliance Energy, Ultratech, GAIL, SAIL, CFCL, KAPS, RCF, SEML, HPCL, BPCL, OISD, L&T, NPCIL, HWB, Voltas, Bajaj Auto, BFL, NFCL, Whirlpool, DFL, ONGC, GE, BFL, FMC, PI Industries, M&M, BHEL, ICC, Excel, Bayer CropScience, Sanofi-Aventis, Foseco, IOCL, Vedanta, and conducted 30 safety awareness surveys in India.
changed (David Broadbent, 2014). According to Fred R. (2014), new BBS programs evolve through continual training. This requires communication skills among all employees, not just those on the work floor. The management team must be as excited to see progress, and participate with the behavioral observers on a continued cycle, where praise and reward goes a long way towards sustaining the BBS program. BBS means more people would voice for safe behaviours as being trained observers (Kaila, 2013). According to a deputy general manager of the company, “safety means the number of heads entered in the company premises should be equal to number of heads out of the company gate (with a smile) everyday.
Research Method A large gas company in India invited the BBS experts to implement BBS in their gas processing units, petrochemical unit as well as pipelines for almost 4000 employees and 2000 contractors’ workmen. The methodology used for
implementing BBS is as follows: 1. Conducted BBS awareness workshops for 20% employees i.e. 800 observers 2. Conducted Five Days BBS Lead Trainers Workshop for 5% i.e. 200 employees 3. Conducted Five Days BBS Roll-out Activities including support and hand-holding with lead trainers’ observation and feedback skills 4. Formed and conducted meetings of Multidisciplinary BBS Functional Safety Committees for Safety excellence and implementation (such as Process, Physical, Maintenance, Road) • Process Safety Committee:- Review and updates on Safe Operating Procedures, Work Permit System & Lock-out, Tag-out procedure, Management of Change, Training needs, Incident Investigations, Audits, Interlocks, Design Verses operating Parameters, Loading and unloading etc. • Physical Safety: - PPE need and

Dealing with issues and apprehensions faced by the BBS Lead Trainers/Observers Multidisciplinary Lead Trainers/ Observers from various units/areas faced various issues and apprehensions while implementing BBS and these are dealt with as below: a. How to deal with stubborn employees for correcting their unsafe behaviours? – By persuasion, follow-up, coaching or challenging them. b. How to deal with senior employees for correcting their unsafe behaviours? – It is matter of fear versus saving life. One should not make discrimination between junior/ senior employees in saving human life while dealing with atrisk behaviour which could trigger serious consequence such as death. c. People could enter fake data in BBS checklist of the safe/unsafe behaviours observed. Restrict filling-up of BBS checklist by trained observers and lead trainers.

behaviours on the shopfloor. Being over-critical/ over-anxious about future implementation to be avoided. There is no significant trend of fake data reported from other organizations. Hence, better focus on observation process outcomes and discuss regularly. Contract workmen may or may not fill observation checklist. They are basically trained to observe and correct unsafe behaviours around them. How to reward a best observer? Best observer could be rewarded for maximum number of observations as well as corrections of unsafe behaviours, maximum number of observations days, and maximum number of behaviour categories observed. Whether focus on Observation or measurement: first focus on firming up ‘the process of observation and correction’ by creating BBS awareness among all employees/ workmen. Simultaneously and gradually focus on efficacy and accuracy of measurements of BBS data. Some employees do not involve or connect with BBS activity due to organizational behaviour reasons such as lack of promotion, low job satisfaction, poor interpersonal relations. To resolve this, first sensitize these people to the concept of BBS and then involve them in leadership role for BBS project activities for promoting their selfregard which has been damaged due to negative organizational experiences. In addition to the above, some HODs/OIC’s apprehension for BBS implementation came up in terms of the extent of involvement of people and time due to lack of standard manning.
Emerging Outcomes of BBS Implementation It is a desire of meeting targets that people exercise power and authority, hurry up and bypass safety, and in this
process that the poor workmen are disabled or killed. Therefore we need to challenge our own behaviour first and question our consciousness that is it proper to kill people to achieve targets. This was implicitly confessed by the training participants. BBS implementation in organizations has positively reflected in audit reports. Safety auditors have appreciated involvement of employees in safety behaviours (Kaila, 2013). An executive director said, “With BBS implementation, everybody would become behaviour safety officer 24x7, 365 days”. An engineer in-charge expressed that applying BBS inside plant depends upon my boss. Therefore the role of unit heads is to encourage people through e-mail messages or personal interaction with observers is necessary. Each awareness workshop was inaugurated by different General Manager each day pumping energy into participants. This is something special. Training and Safety departments coordinated very well. Work permit violations have been reported to a great extent. PPE non-use and its lack of provision is a big issue. An acceptance of BBS concepts is reflected through oneday sessions’ participants. However the resistance was also shown by some participants mentioning organizational constraints such as target pressures, lack of standard manning. The site BBS steering team and functional committees are formed. An issue of lowest quotation came up very significantly as the concerned contractors were least bothered or educated about safety issues or providing basic PPE to their workmen. Another issue of production priority over safety required organizational leadership intervention. The visible outcomes that emerged as a result of BBS Implementation are the following: 1. Developed 359 BBS observers and 56 lead trainers to carry forward the safety culture movement to the remaining staff/contractors.

Their enthusiasm and openness is witnessed. 2. Five Days Workshops upgraded the Lead Trainers’ clarity of BBS concepts and skill of training delivery to their colleagues. As a result, the Lead Trainers conducted three supervised workshops with full confidence, faith and conviction in BBS at each location. 3. Lead Trainers felt a sense of satisfaction by correcting serious unsafe behaviours by regular reminders. They prepared the BBS awareness training module with much creativity and field examples. 4. Prepared IT enabled BBS Checklist, BBS Observation Card, Banners and Sticker for observers’ identity. 5. Average base level of behaviours at Sites was found to be 73% safe behaviours, 27% unsafe / at-risk behaviours. As a result of corrections of unsafe behaviours, the safe behaviours have gone up from 73% to 95% that needs to be sustained by continuing BBS observation rounds. 6. Some of the characteristics of lead trainers were found to be: good voice quality, involvement of participants, clarity of BBS Objective, dealing with questions effectively, creativity and originality of examples/workshop material, high energy level. 7. The receptivity of the BBS programme by employees, CISF (Central Industrial Security Force), Contract workmen at the sites is felt to a great extent. 8. The BBS banners are displayed across the plants. 9. The monthly BBS award scheme has been chalked out for observers based on observation data in 4 categories i.e. executives, nonexecutives, CISF, and Contract workers. 10. The BBS Checklist (bound booklet) was distributed to all trained observers for continuing observations. 11. The personal involvement, administrative support and leadership of OIC, the cooperation

and coordination of Head (Fire &Safety & IT), and all HODs is visible and appreciated for all BBS activities. 12. The regular discussions on the daily developments were held between BBS Task Force members and Experts. 13. The guidance and involvement of faculty members was found to be useful for the site to implement BBS in true spirit and to be an incidentfree organization. 14. Despite all strengths of BBS Implementation, some employees at the Sites expressed resistance, pressures of work for target completion, too many audits going on, degree of time involvement and lack of resources such as PPE etc which were dealt with effectively and addressed by the officer incharge (OIC) and BBS experts. 15. The regular highlighting of the fact at the sites that the BBS Implementation is a Corporate Agenda and personal involvement of the Chairman of Corporate Steering Committee, General Manager – HSE and his Team, Task Force Members helped implementation of BBS. 16. Interacting with individual HODs and clarifying their role and involvement facilitated driving BBS. 17. Behavioral changes are visible as a result of implementation as perceived by the lead trainers. 18. Lead trainers perceived that on an average, 75% of safety is exercised by the work-permit issuer, 50% by the receiver/ accepter, 30% by the executors and these gaps are filled by the BBS observers. 19. The closing meetings of the Site BBS Steering Committee expressed satisfaction and looked forward to the first follow-up meeting with BBS experts.
Recommendations Unsafe behaviour of anybody in the site/plant is a continuous risk for all persons and the plant till it exists and does not get corrected.
Unsafe behaviour howsoever small would become critical for life and property anytime. The following recommendations would help consolidating BBS implementation for maintaining incident-free organization (Kaila, 2013a). 1. Lead Trainers/observers must practice observation of one SOP or work permit or Lock-out Tag-out (LOTO) a day besides observation of PPE or housekeeping etc. 2. It is suggested for the company to set up an e-group on the intranet / website for lead trainers, observers, and those related to BBS from all sites to share their success stories and experiences. 3. Maintaining a ‘directory of lead trainers of all sites’ at the Corporate HSE and periodic mentoring by the corporate team would facilitate BBS Project. 4. The CISF enforcement for ‘use of PPE and disallowing mobile’ at the Gate by employees as well as Contract workers is emphasized. The CISF needs to be empowered for the same. 5. Lead trainers are backbone of BBS implementation & their active participation is a must for successful BBS implementation. 6. Lead Trainers are also internal change agents within the organization and has to train further observers, weekly review among themselves and sharing observations on fortnightly basis among their departmental observers for continuous improvement in their respective departments. 7. The training honorarium/incentive to lead trainers as per existing company rules for conducting training for non-executives/ contract workmen would be a motivating force. 8. It is suggested for sites to display ‘board for best observer’ of every month, board for behavioural trends as well as display board for listing names of site lead trainers

and area observers. 9. The Corporate BBS Task Force members should simultaneously train themselves and emerge as permanent BBS trainers to sustain this project. Moreover all HSE staff whenever they are on internal audit should also conduct BBS refresher programme for the sites across India. 10. The lead trainers must conduct first BBS awareness session for contractors, their supervisors as well as concerned engineers-incharge as most safety violations take place from contractors. For example, most of the contractors have not provided basic PPE to their workmen and the company has also not enforced much or put penalty for not providing PPE. 11. Field medical attendant on-site is needed for immediate care for preventing blood loss in case injury. “I have visited the plant area 17 years after joining the company hospital today for BBS observations”, a lady medical officer. 12. Completing 100% BBS awareness training by lead trainers across the plant is a challenge of lead trainers. Weekly schedule for BBS awareness training for each lead trainer is needed for spreading awareness across the plant among all employees and contract workmen. This schedule needs to be prepared by safety department along with lead trainers. 13. Validation of observers’ training conducted by lead trainers is required which can be achieved by weekly contact/meeting between them for better implementation. 14. Near-miss incident reporting is to be replaced with unsafe behaviours for HSE index as Near-miss shall be reduced by corrections of unsafe behaviour itself.
Conclusion: almost all accidents are a compromise with unsafe behaviours These days, workers and executives of Indian organizations are working

in a highly competitive environment and hard-task oriented environment. Sometimes, they have to give the required production with less manpower in less time. This results into creation of unsafe conditions due to pressure and they adopt shortcut also. In such situation, it is required to care their behaviours by their coworkers which are missing in Indian organizations. T he safety standards, systems, procedures and manuals are well defined in companies but unsafe behaviours are observable at several execution points. According to an executive director, “we have best safety systems but not the best safety behaviours”. The existence of unsafe behaviours precisely reflects the lack of enforcement and compromising with safety standards which is a collective arrangement of HODs, safety department, the plant head and contractors to meet production targets. At the company gate, if security personnel stop employees who are entering without proper PPE, some senior employee would call up or send email to the security department to allow such people inside the company so that the work does not stop. Such compromise with safety only begins with PPE and then employees and workmen compromise safety standards at every execution level even violating work permit, LOTO, SOP. This is how safety culture deteriorates and accidents begin. Hence the unsafe or accident behaviours are carried out with the knowledge of all concerned simply to achieve targets. The unsafe behaviours exist and occur every day at the workplace indicate that the journey for injuries and fatalities for employees have commenced. It is widely recognized that the unsafe or at-risk behaviours of employees are the root cause of almost all accidents in organizations. If we try to analyze why people died in workplace accident, we understand that their unsafe behaviors were not observed and/or not corrected. By
increasing number of trained BBS observers, we augment our range of observation and address unsafe behaviours of employees and contract workmen on regular basis. To sustain safe behaviours, we need to observe and correct unsafe behaviours again and again by training behaviour safety observers in every area of an organization. Thus BBS implementation attempts to minimize or zero down injuries and fatalities at the workplace. “If BBS was implemented earlier, it would have saved few more lives”, a senior safety manager. BBS is to promote safe behaviours partnering everybody in an organization as an individual change orientation leads to organizational change. Finally, an overall feeling about the BBS implementation experience is found to be encouraging and satisfying for everyone involved in this case of a large Indian gas company which could be a great support for other organizations willing to implement BBS for taking a step forward to achieving zero unsafe behaviours..

Area monitors support safety concepts and cut operating costs Portable gas monitors are an important component within the chemical & petrochemical industry to ensure safe working conditions. The use of transportable area monitors on industrial construction sites is highly economical and at the same time it increases the safety standard. Though, this generates a tremendous interest for safety engineers. With the introduction of the system Dräger X-zone 5000, a new application spectrum to simplify safety-related processes arises. These applications as well as a few technical backgrounds on the device will be explained within this article.
Measure where a gas hazard is expected Within construction sites in industrial areas as well as in oil and gas production sites it is essential to install a gas warning system. Mostly, due to the temporary operation it is not possible to establish a fixed gas warning system. This is an ideal application for the Dräger X-zone 5000. The instrument will be placed where gas hazards are expected, e.g. close to the drilling rig. In case of a gas access a strongly noticeable alarm allows to evacuate the area. Typically, the coworkers operating in a construction site are wearing a personal air monitor. These co-workers are not

necessarily at that place, where the gas leakage is expected. So in this case the area monitor is a perfect safety-related supplement to the personal air monitors.
Lower frequencies of reentry measurements within hot works In industrial facilities regularly maintenance is necessary within x zones, so-called hot work operations. To enter this area with non-ex protected tools, a gas free measurement is mandatory. So it needs to be ensured, that no gas hazard is present to avoid explosions generated by the non-ex approved tools. These measurements must be repeated from the gas analyst according to the rules of the site specific risk assessment. The Dräger X-zone 5000 can be placed in areas, where a gas hazard is expected. Alternatively it can also remotely sample the gas with help of an internal pump inside the device. Therefore, the monitoring can be performed directly on-site. The green OK signal of the area monitor shows, that there is no gas hazard.
Area Monitoring with pump Therefore, an additional gas free measurement by the gas analyst, e.g. after short working breaks, is not necessary. So this can lead into relevant process and cost savings.
Quickly secure construction sites or accidental scenarios The fire and gas safety staff needs to evaluate the impacts of potential gas hazards within industrial construction sites or also within accidental scenarios. It needs to be decided • whether a danger for nearby facilities is present or • which personal protection should be worn.

The efforts to setup a safe gas detection system can be strongly reduced. Within just a minute the Dräger X-zones can be positioned around these areas to ensure, that a gas hazard outside this area does not exist. The patented system automatically connects the devices wirelessly. If everything is safe, all instruments will show a green OK signal. If one instrument detects a gas cloud, the vociferous alarm chain will ensure a fast evacuation of the site. The alarming instrument – the mother alarm – differs in the red alarm signal to the instruments, which show a green/red daughter alarm.
Wireless Fence line
Active and direct on-site reaction to gas hazards To fulfil the high safety standards within an industrial plant certain activities must be initiated to protect persons and technical equipment in case of a detected gas hazards. Typically, these activities will be controlled by a central control room with a slight time delay. The Dräger X-zone 5000 is equipped with a potential free alarm contact. In case of a gas alarm or of a gas alarm of one of the wireless connected X-zones these activities can be initiated directly by the instrument. External equipments like ventilators, gates, horns, lamps or traffic lights can be switched on – equipment like booster pumps , non-ex protected tools (welding equipment during hot works, grinder…) can be switched off. This direct way to react on

fence line can be installed by the fire & gas staff to monitor the entire area. Thus, the expenses for briefings and trainings can be reduced.
Reduce the fleet’s costs
Active reaction on gas hazard gas hazards on-site clearly makes industrial sites safer.
Have a backup system for your fixed facility Many plants where hazardous materials are handled are equipped with a fixed gas detection system. But what happens, if a fixed gas detection system is in an error? This can cause a production downtime, as a safe operation of the plant cannot be ensured. An example: Filling stations for hazardous materials are often equipped with “open path” systems. This principle detects the presence of explosive Hydrocarbons by reducing the infrared stream, which radiates through the endangered area. Such “open path” systems cannot work in foggy environmental conditions. Dräger X-zone alarm chains are installed within a few minutes as a standby system for the failed fixed system. Furthermore, the Dräger X-zones potential free alarm contact can be used to transfer information regarding a gas alarm to the control room. The filling station can continue to work.
Cost reduction for trainings Commonly, in line with an industrial shutdown the contractor will be equipped with personal air monitors. Each co-worker certainly needs to get a briefing or to be trained in the proper handling with the gas detection instrument. Instead of proving each coworker with a personal monitor, the Dräger X-zone 5000 area monitor
The alarm amplifier Dräger X-zone 5000 will be used in conjunction with the portable gas detection instruments Dräger X-am 5000 (1 to 5 gas instrument) or with the Dräger X-am 5600 (1 to 6 gas instrument with IR technology). The personal air monitors of the X-am 5x00 series can be used either • as a personally carried gas detection device to monitor the direct surrounding or • in combination with the automatic external pump for confined space entry measurements or • in conjunction with the Dräger X-zone 5000 for the monitoring & evacuation of areas. So the patented system can be adapted to the variable applications. The in-house logistic resp. the expenses for maintenance and trainings is reduced, as the instruments fleet is based on one system. If a calibration needs to be performed halfyearly by an external service partner, only the small gas detection instrument X-am 5000 or X-am 5600 will be dispatched. It is not necessary to ship the bigger X-zone system. Is a daily response with gas required? When an X-zone system is setup on site it has an operating time of up to 120 h. Only during the installation of the X-zone system a response test with gas is required. The daily bumptest, which is typically mandatory for “portable” gas detection instruments, is not necessary for the “transportable” area monitors. Only a visual inspection e.g. of the green OK signal is required. This reduces

he ubiquitous spread of digital devices in this technologically connected age has made the radically transformed the business and marketing landscape in. The confluence of new age technologies such as mobile, social media, analytics and cloud computing are coming together to change the way in which companies connect and communicate with their stakeholders - be it employers, customers, business partners but it is also forcing decision makers to reevaluate the IT risk paradigm. This risk paradigm has always been subject to change, but various complexities have increased the security threats over the past few years. Changing business templates that involve evolving business models, business outsourcing to third parties, IT outsourcing, online commerce and cloud computing are

some factors that have increased a company’s exposure to risk and cyber crimes such as data leakage, data theft, phishing and online fraud. Sensitive or proprietary corporate data stored on a cloud or hardware can be instantly disseminated over the internet, shared on social media, captured on personal smart devices. In short - with an emerging number of channels and platforms, classified corporate information can easily travel around the world with the simple click of the button. In this complex and connected era, it is essential for the CIO or IT head of the company to be aware of the rapidly evolving breadth and depth of risk, and the immediate need for counter effective measures. A decade ago the CIO was merely a support mechanism for the company, but today he is a strategic support who often serves as a catalyst for corporate growth. In the current age, the role of the CIO is integral to the organisation and through the harnessing of effective technologies and applications, he can largely streamline operations, influence, saving and even impact market performance. It is also imperative for CIOs to stay a step ahead to ensure the safety, integrity and security of growing volumes of sensitive data. However while where there are multiple security measures that a CIO can take, a key challenge is the creation of a risk conscious culture that cascades throughout the organisation. With the given multilayered and complex security
threats, organisations need to implement controls across the various lines of defence a company has- from marketing, inventory to HR, and administration, every department needs to be involved in managing and reducing security threats to a company. The mantra of compliance, monitoring and reporting is a tool that can greatly reduce security risks. It is essential that the company should have a risk management framework, with policies, guidelines and accountability and ownership well defined. Since the risk factors in a company are constantly changing, hiring risk consultants who can undertake a profiling the corporate security as well as identify gaps will help mitigate the IT threat. Additionally the organisation needs to be able to design processes and procedures to enable a sustainable and repeatable assessment of numerous environmental threats including IT risks. Today, the evolving digital landscape clearly contends for an in-depth analysis of IT risks especially, around key trends of cloud computing, big data, analytics, cybercrime as well as various internal risks and corporate strategy threats. At all times an organization should be prepared not only to cope with risks and undertake reactive damage control but also to prevent incident occurring in the first instance.

Pedestrian access control Turnstile – Baffle Gate It can also be made so as to enforce one-way traffic of people, and in addition, it can restrict passage only to people who insert a coin, a ticket, a pass, or an access card. Thus a turnstile can be used in the case of paid access, for example public transport as a ticket barrier, or to restrict access to authorized people, for example in the lobby of an office building. Turnstiles are used at a wide variety of settings, including stadiums, amusement parks, museums, mass transit stations, office lobbies, retail sites, cafeterias, temporary exhibits, ski resorts,

have difficulties using turnstiles. In these cases, generally a wide aisle gate or a manual gate may be provided. At some locations where luggage is expected, a line of turnstiles may be entirely formed of wide isle gates. As new laws, industry regulations, government mandates and increased client awareness continue to fuel the demand for and acceptance of entrance control equipment, turnstiles, are now becoming a necessity.

The user inserts a ticket or pass into the slot, from which a barcode is read; if access is to be granted, a sensor determines the speed with which the user passes through, and sets the electric motor to turn the turnstile at the corresponding speed. Sometimes also referred to as “half-height” turnstiles, this fixed arm style has traditionally been the most popular type of turnstile. There are many variations of this style available, including one which is designed to be accompanied by a matching ticket box, and one with a ticket box built in. Some styles

The full-height turnstile, is a larger version of the turnstile, commonly 7-foot (2.1 m) high, similar in operation to a revolving door, which eliminates the possibility (inherent in the waist-high style) of anyone jumping over the turnstile. There are two types of full height turnstiles, High Entrance/ Exit Turnstile (HEET) and Exit-Only. The difference between them is that HEET turnstiles can rotate in both directions thus allowing two-way traffic, while exit-only turnstiles can only rotate in one direction thus allowing one-way traffic. Exitonly turnstiles are commonly used in mass transit stations to allow passengers to exit the system without interfering with those entering.

Optical turnstiles, while different in appearance and operation, provide the same functionality as traditional turnstiles. When used with an access control system, they can eliminate or detect tailgating, and ensure that only one person per activation passes through the lane.

Synergy with other security technologies. Turnstiles provide output signals for violation detection. It is possible to tie in the camera system to take a picture of the area every time an alarm is triggered. A facial recognition system could be tied in with the facility’s check-in system to ensure that only authorized individuals may use the access cards to gain entry. Alarm outputs from the turnstiles are used to lock down interior access doors or disable elevator access, or tying the turnstiles in with an article surveillance system to automatically lock the turnstiles when a potential thief tries to leave the facility with a tagged item.

security. Whether by choice or force, security and subsequently turnstiles are becoming part of the public consciousness. • Waist high turnstiles are deployed where some sort of supervision, such as guards or receptionists, are available. • For a remote unsupervised area, a full-height turnstile should be installed. • It is important to consider the staffing of an area and the layout of the facility when selecting the right turnstile solution. • Optical turnstiles are excellent choices, as they can notify security personnel upon invalid entry attempts. However, an alarm is only as good as its ability to be heard and responded to. • Having a unique, high-class turnstile system, allows a building to maintain its prestigious image while also demonstrating that the security needs are met. • Tractable barrier types of optical turnstiles or barrier-free turnstiles allow for pathways that, when activated, are completely free of any obstacle. This means that ambulatory and wheelchairbound patrons can use the same devices. No longer is it necessary to route people with special access needs through a separate entrance or bypass gate. • By using the turnstiles in tandem with card readers, it is possible to track which employees have entered or exited the premise, which is a key piece of information in the unlikely event that one needs to evacuate the premise. • Utilizing turnstiles with an access control system increases the accuracy and efficiency of the system and allows the guard staff to be more effective in situational responses.

Hikvision:
providing security and confidence tools for
South African campus
I
t seems there isn’t a week that goes by where some type of horrific school-related incident is in the news. This phenomena isn’t linked to any country, but the unfortunate script usually includes someone often a student - arriving on campus intent on doing harm to fellow classmates and faculty. While this represents the absolute worst case scenario, there is also a less dramatic variety that has recently gotten a great deal of traction: bullying. A great deal of effort has been put into the elimination of student bullying. Much time has been spent on the best possible methods to reduce this phenomena, and one tool that
is gaining popularity is the usage of professional CCTV solutions.
South African Campus In South Africa’s Western Cape Province lies the town of Strand. Known for its beautiful beaches, the town also has excellent academic facilities, with one of these being Strand High School. Fortunately, Strand High School offers a peaceful learning environment to provide an excellent Afrikaans school education for its student body. Recently however, as a proactive measure, school administrators drew up plans for a security solution that would: • make sure that school rules and
regulations are adhered to • decrease occurrences of bullying • offer clear video surveillance of school entrances and exits • monitor any individual entering onto, or leaving, school property • offer clear video surveillance over athletic fields and general school grounds
From Idea to Reality In essence, administrators wanted a CCTV solution that would provide surveillance over access control and the school’s general grounds. To turn this idea into a reality, Hikvision’s Official South African Distributer, Sensor, and South African security installer Cam Live Vision combined to design, and install, a solution that addresses these security goals. Ben Bekker, Director of Cam Live Vision, noted, “It became clear in the initial stages that the specifications of the client, combined with school budget concerns, required that very specific cameras were used ... we had to be very intelligent about designing a solution that addressed these often disparate goals.”
PTZ for Close and Far Mr. Bekker opted for a PTZ model to cover surrounding school grounds

(including playing fields, outdoor cafeteria, and parking garage), as well providing optimal viewing of school entrances and exits.Specifically, Hikvision’s Smart PTZ — DS2DF7284 Series 2MP Network IR PTZ Dome Camera was chosen. With units placed on the front and back of the school building, PTZ functionality offers a full 360° of coverage. However, this PTZ functionality is only one piece of the puzzle. Another was a 20x optical zoom that provides the coverage needed for all the school, in its entirety. Yet, “It’s the DS-2DF7284’s 2MP resolution that allows the school Principle and Vice Principle to accurately identify an individual ... regardless if they are at the main front entrance or behind the rugby field,” explained Mr. Bekker. One additional bonus is this model’s Smart IR capability and 150m of IR range, a tool “that is definitely of use during the night, to give us security even if students are not present,” Mr. Bekker added.
Box Cameras for Indoor and Other Areas Hikvision box cameras were chosen for indoor locations and specific outdoor areas. The DS-2CD864FE(W) 1.3MP Network Box Camera

was combined with Hikvision’s TV0309D-MPIR Lens to view indoor school hallways, indoor cafeteria, and outdoor courtyard space. As this courtyard is largely covered, weatherproofing was not a camera issue. As with the previous speed dome, great megapixel resolution was also a must. However with the addition of the TV0309D-MPIRlens, spaces that experience difficult lighting are properly addressed. This is due to the lens’ vari-focal IR function and auto iris - providing clear images in quickly-changing lighting environment. One example is “Strand High School’s interior hallways,” said Mr. Bekker. “These hallway doors open directly to the outside ... so when a door is suddenly opened, normally dark areas are immediately saturated with bright sunlight, requiring this Hikvision lens ... and IR functionality when returning back to the dark.”
A Sense of Security Since Strand High School’s Principle and Vice-Principle use their PCs to conveniently monitor this IP solution, Hikvision’s iVMS Software was combined with the DS-9632NIST Embedded NVR. As this NVR supports 32 IP camera channels, it is an excellent tool to allow these administrators access to whichever camera that is currently needed. This comes in particularly handy during peak hours, such as the morning (with students arriving) and the afternoon (with them leaving for the day). And the results are already in: after only one week using this solution, instances of bullying decreased. Mr. Bekker noted this was confirmed by both students and Strand’s principle. Furthermore, teachers can now review high-quality video to easily identify students who break school rules, such leaving
school grounds during breaks. Importantly, everyone entering and exiting school premises is closely monitored - bringing Strand High School both security and a sense of confidence during these changing modern times.

e
merald is from CEM Systems, part of the Tyco Security Products business unit of Tyco (NYSE: TYC) .As one of the world’s busiest airports, serving over 184 destinations across 80 countries, Heathrow Airport needed a reliable, innovative, intelligent device to ensure the highest levels of security as well as increasing operational efficiency. Heathrow Airport, a long standing CEM customer, is using emerald to control critical paths and restricted zones that are permanently manned by security personnel. emerald will provide security staff with a clear, visual, colour image indicating the card status i.e. access denied or access granted. emerald will also enhance security at Heathrow’s Campus area where all cargo, staff and crew are processed before gaining access to the airside area. This is a critical part of Heathrow’s security operation where the highest level of security is required. CEM Systems has been working with Heathrow Airport for over 20 years securing all five terminals with AC2000 Airport; CEM’s aviation specific access control and security management system. AC2000 Airport provides Heathrow Airport with a flexible and customisable security solution to meet their unique and growing security requirements.

AC2000 Airport protects staff, aviation equipment such as air bridges and luggage carousels, and millions of passengers each year. As well as utilising AC2000 software modules such as AC2000 AED (Alarm Event Display), AC2000 T&A (Time & Attendance) and AC2000 VIPPS (Visual Imaging Pass Production System) the airport also has over 4000 readers from the CEM S600 range and a number of S3030 portable readers for airport roaming security. Adding to the existing range of hardware, emerald is now installed in the Heathrow ID centre and the Campus area. “As an intelligent device emerald goes beyond securing premises; it empowers users, improves overall business needs and increases operational efficiency” said Andrew Fulton, Senior Director of Global Sales, CEM Systems. He continued “emerald is truly revolutionising the security industry, providing a whole new access control experience”. Featuring a touch screen reader and controller in one, and built in Voice over IP (VoIP) intercom functionality removing the need for an additional intercom system, emerald uniquely enables data normally only available on the CEM AC2000 access control client PC to be accessed locally and securely at the door through its range of Remote
Applications. They display real time security information and statistics such as card status, scheduled visitors, top system alarms and most recent alarms on the terminal. Additional applications include First and Last swipes that can be used for time and attendance purposes, Card Details for individuals to determine access levels & card expiry date, and Change PIN that allows users to proactively change their own PIN without contacting the system operator. This data can only be accessed by those with the correct cardholder privileges. emerald now has the ability to display rotating advertisements or information announcements. This feature can be used to display Health & Safety notices or company updates, as well as advertisements which businesses can use to assist in revenue generation. Entry Checklist Mode enables emerald to display a sequence of images and questions relating to business requirements such as Security or Health & Safety, which users must answer positively before the door will open. If the employee answers No to any of the mandatory questions the door will not open. This enables the business to enforce their Health & Safety Policy at the edge of their access control system.
