Breathalyser units for time & attendance and access control
BioSyn supplies breathalyser units that integrate with biometric clocking, access control and payroll systems — built for South African workplaces that need reliable alcohol screening, OHS alignment and clear disciplinary workflows.
Why integrate breathalysers with workforce systems?
Integrating breathalyser hardware into clocking and access systems gives employers a standardised, auditable way to screen for alcohol at entry or at shift start, supporting safety policies and payroll accuracy.
Key Features
- ▶ Compatible breathalyser models for fixed gate, kiosk and handheld screening, with electronic readings suitable for logging into time & attendance systems.
- ▶ Seamless recording of test events into employee attendance records and payroll workflows to simplify disciplinary or absence handling.
- ▶ Policy-ready workflows: random tests, suspicion-based testing, re-test and confirmation steps to match South African HR and CCMA best practice.
- ▶ Calibration and evidence handling support — we document test results and calibration records for defensible disciplinary actions.
Breathalyser Integration with Access Control
Businesses can strengthen site security by linking breathalyser units with access control systems. Consequently, employees may be required to pass an alcohol screening process before access is granted to designated areas.
This approach is particularly valuable in industries where safety regulations require strict control over site access and employee fitness for duty.
- ▶ Controlled site entry
- ▶ Restricted area management
- ▶ Automated access decisions
- ▶ Improved compliance reporting
- ▶ Reduced security risks
- ▶ Centralised workforce records
