The Basics of Visitor Management

The first thing you need to know is whether or not a visitor actually has clearance to enter your site. Anyone can walk in from the street and ask to visit your site; it’s important that before you actually let them in, you know if they have reason – and permission – to be there.

The person most likely to know whether or not a visitor is authorized to visit a site is the person that invited them. That’s why it’s important to have a system at check-in that alerts the proper contact of their visitor’s arrival and allows them to confirm the visitor has clearance to enter the site.

Work sites present certain hazards, and it’s important that every visitor that comes on site is aware of any potential dangers or precautions they need to take in order to navigate the work site safely.

Before you let someone onto your site, it’s important to ensure they’ve gone through any safety inductions or training your company has in place – and that you have a record that they’ve completed them.

Making sure every visitor completes your safety inductions or training and understands how to navigate the site will help to ensure that everyone on site acts in a proper manner and upholds the safety precautions in place.

If you have a larger work site, you likely have multiple points of entry. Which is why it’s important to know exactly where your visitor is checking in.

If you don’t track a visitor’s point of entry before they enter a large work site, you increase the chances of them getting lost in a potentially hazardous area. If you know where they’re entering the site before their visit, you (or their on-site contact) can ensure they have the information they need to navigate that particular area and get to where they need to go faster, safer, and more efficiently.
