Keeping the employees and customers inside of your office building safe should be at the top of your priority list. Feeling unsafe in the workplace can lead to poor productivity, fewer customer interactions, and even a higher turnover rate. Being able to reassure your employees and customers that the office building is safe is a big perk and achieving that level of safety is easier than you realize! Use these 3 tips to start improving the safety of your office building today.

  1. Train Your Staff on Office Safety

Each member of your staff that’s working in the office building needs to be trained on the safety procedures you have in place. This should be included in the new hire training process and included in regularly scheduled follow-up training with existing employees. Some of the safety protocols your employees should be familiar with include:

  • Fire drills
  • Intruder drills
  • How to properly lock/unlock the office if they’re the first or last to arrive/leave the office
  • How to report suspicious activity in the office
  • Handling procedure for cash and other office assets

  1. Create Employee ID’s

A keyless entry system is much more secure than a traditional lock and key. Each employee should have an employee ID with their name, photo, and a barcode that allows them to be scanned into the keyless entry system. This will make it easier to keep track of who’s entering and exiting the building. Guests should be given a temporary guest access badge to get access to the office, but they should be accompanied by an employee at all times for added security.

  1. Invest in Your Security System

Having a great security system is the best way to secure your office. Your security system should include indoor cameras, outdoor cameras, burglar alarms, and keyless entry. The company that installs your security system should also provide decals or signs to place at all entry and exit points of the building. Signs act as a good deterrent for potential intruders. After all, why break in somewhere if you know you’ll be caught in the act? Getting a good security system installed can be expensive at first, but it’s a long-term investment that will keep everyone and everything inside the office much safer than before!
