Top 5 Safety Tips Every Business Owner Should Know
Keeping your business safe and secure is a top priority, and it could make the difference between success and failure. With so much at stake, it is important to keep a few things in mind to ensure that your business and assets are well protected from anything that may happen. Take a look at the following commercial safety and security tips, and if you have any questions about how to take the best care of your business, give us a call at Advanced Lock and Security.
Keep Your Assets Safe
Catastrophe can strike at any time without warning, so it is important to always keep assets such as employee files, leases, insurance, tax, and other important documentation safe and secure. A quality commercial safe is a great solution, and we have a wide variety available at Advanced Lock and Security. Not only can the right safe protect your assets from natural disasters like floods, fires, and more, but a good commercial safe can also protect your business from theft and prying eyes. If you need your safe opened or moved, you won’t find a better outfit than Advanced Lock and Security.
Arm the Alarms
When considering alarms for your business, the first thing that leaps to mind is typically burglar alarms and others to alert you to the presence of people. However, don’t forget about things like carbon dioxide alarms, smoke detectors, and other alarms that alert you to hazardous conditions. We recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our experts to determine the best alarm system designed specifically for your business and its needs. As opposed to other companies that offer similar services, our consultants and technicians are highly trained and benefit from years of experience.
Keep an Eye on Your Business
Security cameras have become very popular and more affordable than ever, but not all Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) security systems are equal. Cameras out in the open are great as a deterrent, but there are also places where you might not want the world to know you’re watching. Often, a combination of prominently visible cameras, combined with hidden cameras is the best way to go. Since every business is different, we suggest having one of our trusted security consultants take a look at the specific needs of your business to determine if your current CCTV system is sufficient, or if adjustments can be made to eliminate blind spots and better secure your livelihood.
Key Quality & Management
When it comes to securing the various aspects of your business, how you maintain the various entrances and exits is the key. For some facilities, a master key can be ideal. It is also important to keep all of the locks throughout your business in good repair. Not only will this save you some hassle and inconvenience, it will also ensure that your locks remain secure. The keys for the various doors throughout your facility are typically the first thing that come to mind, but don’t forget about keys to things like file cabinets, tool boxes, windows, desks, and anything else that is secured with a keyed lock. If ever a key is unaccounted for, it is easier to have the locks rekeyed than it is to deal with unwanted access to secure areas.
Controlled Access
Maintaining control of who has access to your facility and when is another important key to keeping your business safe and secure. At Advanced Lock and Security, we specialize in a wide variety of solutions to access control. In many cases, electronic access is ideal for keeping track of who enters an area and when. From card swipes to electronic combination locks and even biometric locks, the experts at Advanced Lock and Security can ensure that only authorized personnel maintain access. Another great advantage of electronic locks is that they can be easily reprogramed for areas where those allowed access is frequently changing.
