Touch-Free Exit: A Vital New Consideration

In light of the new norms for limiting contact in public spaces, the introduction of touch-free exit devices into your office or business premises is an increasingly important change you should consider making.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a shock for many and has altered the normal way of life for citizens all over the world. Even as the world begins to put the worst of this disease behind us, the impact on our day-to-day life in the UK looks set to continue for a long time. Businesses and organisations if they wish to reopen their public premises must consider how they can minimise the spread of infection and ensure their workspace is aligned with COVID-19 guidelines.

One important consideration is how to limit contact, and touch-free exit technology is a fantastic and easy method to assist with that. These replace the conventional request-to-exit buttons, providing users with a contactless exit. At Spectrum Security, we recommend an infrared exit device. This is a touchless proximity switch, activated by the close proximity of a hand. It eliminates the need for touch, making it ideal for clean environments.

The illuminated halo normally stays red, turning green when activated. The sensor works by infrared, and the proximity range is adjustable as is the door-open period. It is a simple way to make your workplace a safer place.
