Today, threats to the workplace can come from almost anyone: clients, contractors, employees, or even members of the public that aren’t associated with your business. We’ve gathered some brief tips on how to help ensure safety at your workplace.

• Conduct a safety training so employees know the steps to take for themselves in case of danger. This includes developing and emergency exit procedure.
• Ensure there is adequate lighting in the parking lot and around entrances.
• Don’t leave valuables at the office without locking them up. Keep in mind that thieves seek items of value that can easily be stolen, such as laptops.
• Keep all master keys locked in a security office.
• Encourage staff members to approach
• unrecognized visitors.
• Ensure that there are no entrances to the building that would allow someone to enter without providing identification or passing security.
