WORKERS WALKING THROUGH
ANTI-PASS BACK FEATURE OF THE
BIOMETRIC SYSTEM
The Estate Management has become
aware that some of the workers in
the estate do not walk through the
turnstiles when accessing the estate.
These workers gain access to the estate
in a resident’s vehicle. This results in the
worker not able to enter the estate using
the biometric system, due to the anti-
pass back feature in the system.
All workers must use the biometric
system each time they enter and leave
the estate. Should you, as a resident, take
your worker out or bring your worker
into the estate, you are requested to
stop at the gate and ensure that your
worker goes through the turnstile, using APPLICATIONS – SOLAR to match the wall colour. This must
