Enhancing overall access control

SMART Mining Security Solutions 2024 Mining (Industry)

Mines in South Africa face a range of security threats, from petty criminals to well-organised syndicates. These threats can involve theft of minerals, equipment, and infrastructure, as well as risks to personnel safety. Mines must also be vigilant against internal threats and ensure robust systems are in place to prevent theft.

Director of Turnstar Systems, Craig Sacks, says,” Understanding the specific risks faced by each mine is essential for developing an effective security strategy.”

Turnstar’s Titan turnstile offers high security physical access control, which can be integrated with advanced technologies to prevent unauthorised entry to mining facilities. The Titan offers a reliable and secure solution that minimises the risk of human tampering and improves overall security.

By adopting proactive risk management, mines in South Africa can better protect their assets, personnel, and operations against a wide range of threats. Turnstar’s Titan turnstile can play a crucial role in enhancing physical access control and securing valuable minerals.

“Security measures should be integrated across various layers of the mining operation, including perimeter security, access control, surveillance systems, and employee training,” says Craig Sacks. This holistic approach ensures comprehensive coverage and enhances overall effectiveness.
