hpotter Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I used to have a customer with an old A&G keyswitch operated panel who insisted on leaving the key in the panel at all times just so he wouldn't lose it! nothing to do with security then? As a system, best kit in the world with the finest engineer fitting it, is flawed without taking into account the user/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawandorder Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 As a system, best kit in the world with the finest engineer fitting it, is flawed without taking into account the user/s. To be fair I have also seen alarm access codes written adjacent to the keypad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that just confirms though, RA should include user/s ability AND liability. Come to that disabilty too. Does the DDA affect risk assesment? If not/why not? no an alarm by definition has to work a certain way, the fact a user claims they cannot use what is required is their failure and not a reason to compramise the level of security. If when designing the system the users ability/claims are not taken into account, that is a failure on the part of the designer. using a tag entering a code or unlocking a door - what are you suggesting is any easier? [color="#4169E1"]Yes, to some people there is a difference. Without wishing to sound crass, we've fitted fobs for those who struggle to push buttons, and likewise people do forget where they have left their keys etc.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 DDA woudlnt affect the grading risk assemement unless you were excluding able bodied intruders. You would grade your system as say G3c then decide on an unsetting method. 6.4.5 may be acceptable, but as above it may not be. Personally id suggest that using the access control to start entry time and disable confirm would br a good option in a DDA compliant environment. We must remeber that DD243 is purly a confirm std and designed to help lower the false alarm rate. And it has worked...so far. But anyway we are going wildly off topic now. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
