Accurate manpower capture on site is essential for safety, productivity benchmarking and for BCA EPSS Submission. The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) requires builders of applicable projects to submit monthly manpower and productivity data through the Electronic Productivity Submission System (ePSS). The ePSS expects structured, worker-level data (name/UIN, work pass type, employer UEN, clock-in/out times and hours) so that project productivity and manday calculations can be derived.
A robust on-site solution combines Biometric Time Attendance System for Manpower Data Collection (facial and/or thumbprint recognition device) with Tripod Turnstile for Construction sites and software that exports the Manpower Report According to BCA current EPSS template. Benefits include:
• elimination of buddy-punching and duplicate entries;
• automated generation of EPSS-formatted Excel exports for monthly submission;
• real-time headcount dashboards to support safety briefings and evacuation planning.
When selecting a Biometric Access System or Facial and Thumbprint recognition device for construction sites, confirm: ruggedised hardware (IP rating), anti-spoofing, offline buffering for network outages, and compatibility with your BAS/ePSS middleware. Shunamite’s integrated offerings for Biometric Time Attendance and Tripod Turnstiles are designed to generate ePSS-ready reports and to streamline BCA EPSS submission workflows for contractors.
