There are a few steps that employers can take to prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas. Communication and training are perhaps the most crucial elements to ensure workplace policy compliance. Employers should make sure workers are aware of restricted areas and properly trained to identify, understand, and avoid the hazards associated with such areas, as well as the consequences of violating the policy. It is also important to clearly mark limited access workplace areas with the help of strategically placed restricted area signs. It may also help to install lockable doors secured by manual or digital locking systems that only authorized employees have access to. Employing a guard to monitor the entry and exit points of these areas is another way to minimize violations.
