The contractor is building the new Anderson High School and Halls of Residence development for hub North Scotland at Lerwick.
As part of the scheme, Shetland Facilities Management (SFM) Security has provided Morrison with a biometric security system which gives an accurate count of the workforce in each of the construction site's two zones, split by company and trade discipline, for not only HSSE requirements but also emergency response, robust time and attendance recording and to capture the data and metrics required for project controls.

Simon Orchard, Director of Security, SFM, said: "Logistical issues with using SMART cards alongside a large workforce we always found problematic. Using ievo's biometric solution allows us to save costs whilst also improving efficiency. ievo devices are easy to install, robust, operational in harsh climates and working conditions and surpass all our operational needs. ievo provided the perfect biometric security solution and we are already planning on using them for our next project."
Shaun Oakes, Managing Director of ievo, added: "ievo systems are designed for harsh environmental use, such as construction sites. It was vital that the fingerprint system would maintain operational regardless of the weather conditions or the amount of users enrolled. Being able to provide a system that can help identify and manage a large workforce is what ievo is designed for. The installation of the solution has now bedded in very effectively and Morrison Construction Limited staff liked the ease of use for both enrolment of fingerprints, and generating accurate and reliable reports."
The Anderson High School project is to be completed by summer 2017.
