The management company at our office building issued a holiday alert to all
the tenants. This is an edited version of their memo, and should be applicable
to anyone who works in an office building.
The holiday season is an active time and
requires extra vigilance to prevent theft.
Your building management team takes many
extra precautions to protect your personal
items and your company's equipment. Holiday
protection is a total team effort and you
can play your part by remembering a few
simple rules.
Office thieves take advantage of
opportunities, and if you remove the
opportunity you greatly reduce the chances
of being victimized. REMEMBER: Take all
safety precautions!
Stay alert! Office thieves are most active
at opening, closing, and lunch hours, when
the maximum traffic flow occurs.
Remove from public view and secure
unattended holiday gifts, purses, wallets,
and coats that provide attractive
invitations to a would-be thief.
Reception areas should always be staffed,
and outer doors leading to the office should
be kept locked at all times.
Be wary of solicitors or other suspicious
persons. "May I help you?" will often be
sufficient to deter a potential intruder.
Thieves do not want to be confronted or
identified
Following your own instincts is critical. If
there is ever any doubt or you don't feel
right about an outsider in your office,
hallway, or restroom, immediately call
Security or the Management office.
If working after hours, call Security and
report that you are still in the building.
Keep the outer office door locked if
possible.
When working late, you should use caution
when entering an elevator with unknown
individuals. Try to stand so that you have
access to the control panel. Never stand
with your back to a person; you could be an
easy target for a pickpocket or violence.
Place valuables in the office in a locked
cabinet or drawer.
Do not make co-workers aware of the fact
that you have excess cash in your
possession.
