Safety Tips for Businesses and Their Employees

Here are ways to help your company’s bottom line by making your customers and fellow co-workers feel safer and have some peace-of-mind when doing business with you.

Improve your ability to spot trouble

• Keep all areas well-lit – both inside and outside your business.
• Eliminate blind-spots and hiding places – including tall fences, dense landscaping, and dumpsters.
• Plant low thorny bushes in front of windows – which not only give you a clear line of site, but also provide a painful place for criminals to hide.
• Install Closed Circuit Television Cameras – and place the monitors in public view.

Control Your Space

• Make sure receptionists have a clear line of sight of all entrances – and an ability to discreetly call for help.
• Place security signs in strategic locations – and let visitors know you care.
• Implement a visitor badging system – and make sure visitors are escorted.

No More “Broken Windows”

• A poorly-maintained property invites vandalism.
• A well-maintained property says you care and notice what happens around you.
• A well-maintained business is a matter of safety and pride.

Make Your Business a Hardened Target

• Replace old locks with state-of-the-art deadbolts.
• Replace large plate glass windows to reduce “smash-n-grab” thefts – or cover the glass with shatter-resistant film.
• Reduce straight-line access to cashiers with seating areas, signs, flower pots, etc. – so it’s more work for a criminal to dash at a cash register.
