Reception areas

An efficient reception area is essential to controlling access, with side and rear entrances denied to all but authorised people. Keep access points to a minimum and make sure the boundary between public and private areas of your building is secure and clearly signed. Invest in good quality access control systems operated by magnetic swipe or contact 'proximity' cards supported by a personal identification number (PIN).
