Taking proactive steps when it comes to security issues to ensure day-to-day safety is the best approach in managing security risks in the workplace. Just like our own homes, we all want our office to be safe and secure. But we tend to be more lax when it comes to securing our workplace. Maybe because most of us assume that it’s someone else’s responsibility. Again, risk management is everyone’s responsibility.
Below are the 5 basic tips I want to share with you on how can we start securing our workplaces.
Keep track of personnel. Visitors and guests should be properly registered and should be provided with visitor’s pass. If you happen to see unfamiliar persons such as visitors walking through your office, try to determine who they are visiting by asking them if they need assistance.
Secure your access keys. Do not share access cards or keys with anyone. Every employee has his own access card. Do not let anyone into the office with your access card after office hours.
Keep the door closed. Doors, especially those leading to restricted areas, must be closed at all times in order to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the premises. If you happen to find a door open after office hours, close it.
Keep an eye on your valuables. Secure all your valuables. Protect the confidentiality of the files you are processing or storing. Make it out of sight and locked. Utilize your drawers and file cabinets, if possible.
