Public Utilities Improve Security Using Visitor Management Techniques

Visitor Management at Utilities
Some of the nation's largest utility firms are using EasyLobby Secure Visitor Management (SVM) to secure their facilities from unwanted guests and to monitor exactly who has entered their buildings and the reason why.

Unlike other corporate facilities, utility operations are subject to tighter regulations to monitor and report on visitors, including contractors, who have entered their generating or operating plants.

EasyLobby visitor registration software allows utility operations to comply with these federal regulations and to screen out unwanted visitors and contractors.

One of our customers, a large electric utility with more than 5 million customers, uses EasyLobby visitor monitoring software in more than a dozen office buildings and over 15 of its electric generating plants.

In addition to improving visitor security, the utility also uses EasyLobby's visitor registration system to control costs by better monitoring and controlling contractors working at their facilities.

During planned and unplanned plant outages there can be hundreds to thousands of contractors working at these facilities. The utility uses our visitor control software to identify undesirable temporary workers and to create watch lists to keep them from the facilities.

One of the visitor management techniques used by this utility is to monitor contractor time and attendance by matching the contractor's sign in and check out times to be sure that contractors are not falsifying the hours that they worked.

With integration to the access control system, the utility is also able to provide contractors with access to locked areas controlled by their access system.
