Troy, Michigan April 20, 2011 - Copper Range is pleased to announce SeverStal NA has expanded it’s use of CRScan to allow it’s contractors read-only access to CRScan in order to view all of their workers data. Marking the first time that CRScan has been utilized in this way, contractors, not only the owners, will have the ability to know if their workers are meeting regulations and where they are located, for safety and emergency situations.
“We are very pleased to work with our partners SeverStal and MUST in order to make this happen,” says Randall Ray, president and CEO of Copper Range. “To my knowledge, this is the first time in history a subcontractor can log into an owner's access control system to verify access and safety data on their own workers via a web browser.”
With options ranging from a simple card swipe to a roadway lift arm gate to a single-person turnstile, CRScan accurately checks a worker’s credentials against a pre-built, web-based database of information in a fraction of a second. It then provides up-to-date reporting, attendance and compliance information such as drug test programs, safety training certification, area access approval and any other rules required of workers by employers.
As a patented wireless, cellular system, CRScan operates with complete independence from any pre-existing IT infrastructure or staff. It can be put in place as soon as electrical power is available - quickly, simply, cost effectively.
