In the Spotlight: Secure Your Premises and Keep Employees Safe
How does a public place of business create a secure workplace without feeling like a prison in lockdown? There are several approaches to security. The first thing to consider is the area you want to protect. For example, installing safety film on windows helps to protect against injuries in the event that the glass shatters. In addition to the obvious threat of doors/entrances, the mailroom is an important point of access (remember the anthrax?). If you think your business may be a target, you could consider scanning the mail and having a separate air handler in the mailroom to contain any incident.
Access control for doorways can be handled simply and effectively. A metal detector and x-ray machine can uncover firearms. A coded mechanical lock controls access, but still makes entry easy and safe. Proximity cards provide hands-free entry; chip-embedded smart cards allow different levels of access where needed. Sometimes the mere presence of surveillance cameras, an expected part of the security picture, is enough to deter crime. Besides alerting the security team, cameras can also send the information to an offsite server. This feature is helpful if the breach is an inside job, and people know where video files are logged and how long they are kept.
