About us

At The Access Guardian, our mission is simple but vital: to make confined space work safer, smarter, and fully compliant.


Born out of decades of hands-on experience in drainage, utilities, and heritage environments, The Access Guardian App was created to tackle one of the industry’s most persistent challenges—ensuring the highest standards of safety and accountability in confined spaces.


Our team recognised that traditional paper permits and manual logs often leave room for error, delay, and risk. By combining safety expertise with digital innovation, we developed an intuitive system that transforms how employers, contractors, and duty holders manage confined space entry.
The Access Guardian App brings together:

  • Smart NFC Automation: Touch-in and touch-out entry controls that guarantee accurate, tamper-proof audit trails.

  • Live Environmental Logging: Continuous monitoring of oxygen, methane, CO, and H₂S levels before, during, and after entry.

  • Emergency Safeguards: A fixed incident screen showing all entrants and rescue-state details, controlled only from the desktop portal.

  • Digital Permits & Compliance Tools: Simple workflows that align directly with the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 and HSE guidance.

We believe that safety technology should empower workers, not burden them. That’s why The Access Guardian App is designed to be practical in the field, seamless for supervisors, and transparent for auditors and regulators.


From small contractors to national utilities, heritage projects to industrial plants, The Access Guardian is trusted to deliver peace of mind, reduce risk, and keep people safe where it matters most.
