Three Indian men were arrested because their visas had expired, while a fourth had no legal right to work in the UK. They were delivery drivers aged 24, 25 and 30; while the fourth is 31. The dairy faces a penalty of up to £10,000 for each illegal worker unless it could provide evidence that the correct pre-employment checks were carried out.
The identity of your employees is never in doubt when using an Access Control Wales smart card system. The cards are security protected, while for a two-factor system biometric fingerprint scanning access readers can be aligned with the conventional smart card readers. Our Access controllers can be networked together to create a powerful computer controlled security infrastructure. The T3510 controller can be configured in many different arrangements, controlling a smaller number of doors at first and then more at a later date as need and/or budget permits.
Campaigning group Age Cymru says public toilets are vital for older people and some will not leave the house without knowing they are available. “We can’t underestimate the importance of public toilets in our towns and cities,” said Iwan Roberts, Age Cymru spokesman. He continued: "Public toilets are a lifeline for older people.” Public toilet provision has big variations: Caerphilly and Monmouthshire have fewer than ten. Some councils make up the shortfall by allowing the public into toilets in public buildings.

Chief police officers raised concerns about the impact of the proposals on response times, so the NPAS project team suggested a fixed-wing aircraft could be based in the force area instead.

A study by publishers AVISIAN found that security cards must be able to validate and secure identities. This has created demand for multiple layers of card security including two-factor authentication to validate identity, and biometric templates that must be stored on the card. More than 85% of the security user community felt that this was a very important factor and over one?third felt that they did not have adequate support in this area from sellers.
