Why Turnstile Scheduling Matters for General Contractors

When it comes to jobsite security, timing is everything.

That’s why Field Control Analytics allows project teams to assign custom schedules to each turnstile—so you can control not just who enters the site, but when.

What is Turnstile Scheduling?

Turnstile scheduling lets general contractors define access hours by day, time, and even specific gates. For example, a team might allow entry only between 6:30 AM and 5:00 PM on weekdays, locking out badge scans on weekends or during off-hours.

This helps prevent unauthorized site access, supports safety compliance, and limits potential liability—all without needing more staff on-site.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Security: Turnstiles deactivate outside scheduled hours—badges won’t scan.
• Customized by Project: Set schedules per project, per turnstile, per shift.
• Granular Permissions: Only authorized users can adjust schedules—ensuring control remains in the right hands.
• Real-Time Adjustments: Admins can edit, disable, or update schedules directly from the FCA dashboard or mobile JSA app.

How It Works

1. Create Time Slots – Define working hours (e.g., 6:30 AM – 5:00 PM).
2. Assign Time Slots to Turnstiles – Choose which turnstiles follow which schedules.
3. Enable/Disable as Needed – For holiday closures or overnight shifts, schedules can be paused or adjusted case-by-case.

Why It Matters

Turnstile scheduling isn’t just a security upgrade—it’s a smart way to protect your people, your progress, and your bottom line.

By aligning access control with operational hours, you get a safer, more efficient, and more accountable jobsite.
