How to Improve Security in the Workplace
Taking adequate measures to secure your office building is critical for the safety of your employees and customers. Poor security and absence of access control mechanisms increase the risk of intruders, leading to compromised security of your operations.
Take a look at these three easy steps that can help you instantly achieve enhanced workplace security.
Install Cameras around the Perimeter
Monitoring the area is the easiest way to secure your building and its surrounding. CCTV cameras installed strategically around the building and at various access points can help you keep track of people entering the building. Additionally, you also want to advertise the fact that there are cameras in the vicinity. Experts suggest that this in itself acts as a deterrent and prevents potential crime.
Secure all access points
Physical barriers to entry are another easy way to prevent unauthorized access into your building. This includes locking mechanisms, security checks, and key cards that prevent intruders from entering the premises. Apart from the main entrance, you must identify any other weak spots, such as broken elevators, open reception areas, and faulty fire escapes that might inadvertently provide access to intruders.
Additionally, you should also keep in mind any internal areas that you want to square off from access to all employees.
Train your employees regarding security
Promote your efforts to keep the workplace secure among employees and educate them regarding the importance of security. Ensure you have clear and easily-accessible policies in place regarding building security. Create awareness about those policies during training sessions and establish clear protocols about what employees should do if they come across any suspicious activity.
Implement biometric access systems
Biometric verification systems can take building security up a notch by ensuring only authorized individuals enter the building. Biometric systems include fingerprint scanning, palm scanning, and facial recognition.
