Security within the rail industry involves many different aspects and goes far beyond securing doors in railway stations. There are a vast number of trackside applications that need securing, such as power sources, control cabinets, crossings, access gates and signalling boxes. Asset management and protection is crucial to ensure the network operates reliably.
Extensive periods of construction and maintenance means staff and contractors need to be granted access to a wide range of high-risk areas at all times, day and night. Ensuring access is only granted to the right people at the right time is vital, and the public must also be prevented from accessing unauthorised areas - both from a health and safety perspective and to prevent malicious vandalism or theft.
