Every year on 28th April, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work highlights the importance of ensuring safe and healthy working environments for all employees. This global initiative, led by the International Labour Organization (ILO), raises awareness of workplace hazards and promotes measures to prevent accidents and injuries.

At Quantek, we understand the vital role that access control and automation play in improving workplace safety. Our range of automatic door systems, hands-free access solutions, and security controls help businesses create safer, more efficient, and legally compliant work environments.

Why Workplace Safety Matters

A well-maintained and safe workplace is essential for preventing injuries and ensuring smooth operations. Employers have a responsibility to reduce risks related to manual handling, restricted access areas, hygiene control, and emergency exits. Implementing automated access solutions can significantly contribute to achieving these safety goals.

How Quantek Can Help Improve Workplace Safety

1. Automatic Door Openers for Hands-Free Access

Reducing physical contact with doors helps to prevent the spread of germs and ensures easier access for workers carrying equipment or materials. Our automatic door openers can be operated via motion sensors, push pads, or remote controls, improving both safety and convenience in busy workplaces.

2. Touch-Free Access Control Systems

Workplaces such as warehouses, factories, and healthcare facilities benefit from touch-free access solutions, allowing doors to open automatically without the need for manual operation. This helps maintain hygiene standards and reduces the risk of contamination.

3. Secure Access Control for Restricted Areas

Certain work environments require controlled access to sensitive or hazardous areas. Our key fob and RFID access control systems ensure that only authorised personnel can enter these spaces, improving security and preventing accidents caused by unauthorised access.

4. Fire Door Retainers and Emergency Access Solutions

In the event of an emergency, clear and accessible exit routes are crucial. Our fire door retainers keep fire doors open when required but automatically close in case of a fire alarm, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Additionally, automated emergency exit doors improve safe evacuation procedures.

This World Day for Safety and Health at Work, businesses should take the opportunity to assess their workplace safety measures and implement improvements where necessary. Investing in automated access control solutions not only enhances safety but also boosts efficiency and accessibility in the workplace.
