Security Access Control Turnstiles
What they are
A construction site turnstile is a controlled entry gate that only lets inducted, authorised workers onto site. Our Construction Access Control Security Turnstiles check each person by face or card at the gate, block expired CSCS cards, record who is on site in real time and produce an instant fire roll call. Not every project needs to own its turnstiles. If you are pricing up a scheme, our guide to construction site turnstile hire covers what is included, tripod versus full height, and how to choose the right access control for the length of your project.
How they work
The construction site turnstile system comes with a complete construction site package, including delivery, onsite commissioning, software installation on your PC, training, and ongoing maintenance. Our engineers will be onsite to ensure a smooth installation process and offer support as needed.
Credentials are checked at the gate, not in a folder. The system can enforce CSCS Smart Check and Right to Work verification on entry, block expired cards automatically, and produce a real-time fire roll call on any device the moment the alarm sounds.

Common questions
Control the entrance. A turnstile only opens for workers who are inducted and cleared for that site, so visitors, expired cardholders and people who were never inducted cannot walk in. Every entry and exit is logged automatically.
Under CDM 2015 the principal contractor must take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised access to the site. Access control turnstiles give you a clear, recorded way to show that is being done.
Because everyone enters and leaves through the turnstile, the system knows who is on site at any moment. It produces a real-time fire roll call on any device, split by subcontractor, so marshals can account for people quickly.
Yes. Our turnstiles check CSCS cards through the scheme’s Smart Check service and can verify Right to Work through PPAC. Expired cards are blocked at the gate and you get a warning before a card runs out.
Yes. Turnstiles are available to hire or buy, with delivery, commissioning, training and maintenance included. See our construction site turnstile hire guide for how it works.
A plug and play kiosk with face recognition can check workers in before a turnstile goes in, or be used to zone areas of a site. It can be moved to the next project when you are done.
