It takes a great amount of passion, patience and money to run a successful business. We’re sure you have done everything you can to create a secure business, but commercial security is one aspect that many businesses overlook. With threats of both criminal damage and theft being hugely detrimental to any business, it is essential for you to take all the precautions. Here are a few tips to ensure the safety of your products, documents and employees.
Secure Access System
With multiple employees entering the building, the use of keys is most definitely not the safest option. They are easily lost, and once misplaced can simply be replicated. Electronic access control technology cuts out this risk, as lost cards or fobs can be immediately de-activated. Our video and audio door entry systems are also a perfect way to ensure your employees and building are under strict surveillance.
Lighting, Inside and Out
Adequate lighting is not only essential in the interior of your building, but the outside as well. Well-lit entrances deter burglars, and they are exposed both to passersby and visible to CCTV. Leave some lighting on inside your office, so that police and security can see any intruders. This also keeps your employees safe if they intend to work after dark.
Schedule Audits
Ensure you have audits scheduled annually so that you can see any improvements that could be made in your security systems. Don’t put off getting any faults in your security fixed- this can lead to vandals and thieves exploiting the weaknesses in your security.
Apply a Code of Conduct
Now that you have created a safe environment for your office, it’s essential to keep human error to a minimum. A code of conduct can give your employees an outline on their necessary actions within, outside and before leaving the office. It can also detail the repercussions if behaviour in the office violates these rules. Keep your employees informed of any updates in your security system and ensure everybody knows how to easily use the alarm and control systems.
