Use Card Reader to Gain Access - ISO 7010: M001 - General Mandatory Action Safety Signs

Guide employees, visitors, or authorised personnel on how to enter a secure area. It clearly indicates that entry is controlled electronically and that a key card or access card is required. This reduces confusion, ensures smooth traffic flow, and reinforces security protocols by reminding everyone of the correct procedure to gain access.

These signs are particularly important in workplaces, commercial buildings, laboratories, data centres, gated communities, and any facility where restricted access is necessary. By placing the sign near doors, gates, or entry points equipped with card readers, users immediately understand how to gain entry, minimizing delays and unauthorised attempts.

In addition to providing clear instructions, the sign supports overall security and compliance. Unauthorised entry can pose risks to safety, sensitive information, or valuable assets. The sign helps deter attempts to bypass security, ensuring that only authorised personnel use the card reader to access the area.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be positioned prominently near the card reader or access point at eye level. Clear, concise wording ensures that all users, including first-time visitors, know how to operate the access system, helping maintain safety, security, and an efficient flow of people through controlled areas.
