Let’s Keep Your Work Safe
In this day and age, there seem to be more and more instances of people being attacked while at work. With this, we have seen a rise in security systems being set up to better monitor and protect those working there. That said, it is not only the job of these pieces of technology to keep everyone safe but rather, those working there are also responsible for maintaining an open eye to any potential issues that may arise. These are some tips that could drastically improve the security level of the office.
Have a Safety Coordinator
Having it someone’s job at your office to make sure that any safety drills are conducted, and that everything with the safety features is up to date is an excellent way of making sure of safety accountability. Make sure who you choose has a background in conducting such activities, and has an even head on their shoulders.
Let Your Security be Known
A great way of deterring any criminal activity is having your security known. What that means is, having your cameras prominently displayed, and having signs stating that the location is under a security company’s watch is an excellent way of presenting your site as one that people would not want to take the chance at robbing.
Keep Your Tech Secure
When not open for working hours, it is essential that the valuable property of your company are securely locked away. Nowhere is this more important than making sure that your workplace technology (Laptops, desktops, cell phones, etc.) are locked away, and out of sight. Locking them away like this means that not only are they behind another locked door but that they are not immediately visible to the public eye, thereby eliminating the chance of a spontaneous break-in.
Check All Entry Points
Knowing who is coming in and going out of your office is vital to having a secure workplace. This makes sure that at any time, every person there is accounted for.
Training For All
It is essential that you have routine training for your employees to be able to identify any threats and know how to deal with them. This can be as simple as how to deal with theft, or what to do in the case of an active shooter.
No matter the situation that can present itself, it is the employer's job to make sure everyone is safe at their job site.
