A new system, which has been implemented at the Spurs stadium site, will help prevent illegal workers\u2026<\/h2>\n

A new system aimed at preventing fake documents from being used by workers is being introduced across major construction sites.<\/p>\n

The government has been cracking down on illegal workers<\/a>, with the Home Office<\/a> undertaking raids on construction sites. Hiring illegal workers can result in a \u00a320,000 fine. As fraudulent documents become increasingly sophisticated it is becoming more difficult to tell these apart from legitimate papers.<\/p>\n

The system is currently being used by construction firm Morrisroe<\/a> at the Tottenham Spurs stadium site. The Ppac Passport Authentication Check<\/a> system has already discovered fake documents that the Morrisroe team had not identified\u2014despite being highly experienced in recognising these.<\/p>\n

Training and Development manager Robert Thompson said: \u201cSome of the fake passports in circulation now are very sophisticated and can get by even the most experienced of checkers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ppac system is perfect to prevent problems like this. It\u2019s very simple and effective in picking-up fake documents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ppac is able to check passports, visas, skills cards, and other ID documents using a scanner.<\/p>\n

Thompson added: \u201cWe take great pride in the quality of our workforce and we want to make sure everyone is on site legally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dean Tuhey, spokesman for Passport Authentication Check said: \u201cWe have over 14 years of industry experience so we know exactly what issues contractors face and how we can help them.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur services are an integral part of the continued clampdown on illegal workers and a growing number of contractors are using us to avoid the problems that identity fraud can create on site.\u201d<\/p>\n
