Alcohol Tester

Combine key management with compulsory alcohol testing – a system that will not allow keys to vehicles or hazardous equipment, to be released until the user has passed an alcohol breath test.

The highly acclaimed Alcolock^® DS-10 alcohol tester (Home Office approved) is integrated with Traka electronic key management to ensure drivers (or operatives of any piece of potentially dangerous equipment) must first pass a breath test before keys can be withdrawn. Testing can be compulsory for every user or set to test a random sample of users.

Initial access to the cabinet is restricted to authorized users, thus preventing unauthorized use of vehicles or equipment. After opening the Traka cabinet (using PIN, access card or biometrics reader) the user then selects the required key to a particular vehicle or piece of equipment. However, before the key is released the system display requests the user to blow into the Alcolock.

This is a highly cost-effective method for ensuring staff are safe before driving or using equipment where excessive alcohol will cause danger or impair judgment – it enables an organization to fulfill its Duty of Care to employees and the public.

A five-second blow and the system will confirm a Pass or a Fail. Only if Passed will the key be released. A Fail and the key will be locked in place. Furthermore, the Fail will be logged in the Traka database together with the user’s name.
