As the holiday season approaches, do you feel secure that your businesses office space is well protected when you're away? Break-ins, theft or fire risks are heightened at this time of year. Ensuring your premises is as safe as possible and equipped with the correct security and fire safety systems is essential. Throughout this blog, we share a checklist that all businesses must follow before taking time away from their offices this festive season. Being proactive and taking the steps to ensure the security of your business is paramount in minimising the risk during shutdown.
Secure your Business at all Entry Points
In the UK, most burglaries occur through doors and windows. When you leave your office for holiday break, you must double-check all doors and windows are locked and properly secured. Around 67-70% of burglars enter properties through doors, and surprisingly, in many cases (21%), they don’t even have to break in—people leave their doors unlocked. Don’t fall victim to not double-checking if all of your doors and windows are properly locked.
Additionally, access control is an excellent way to further protect your premises. We provide effective access control systems in Cardiff and the UK. If you need to restrict access to sensitive parts of your site, or just need to control and monitor who has access to areas in your business, we offer a wide range of systems to achieve this. Our systems can include swipe and proximity card systems, and fingerprint technology, providing you with the most effective security system for your office.
Activate Intruder Alarms
Intruder Alarms systems are an important measure when keeping your premises safe and secure. A visible or audible alarm system acts as a strong deterrent. Burglars are far less likely to target properties with alarms, as they increase the risk of detection. With over 20 years as specialists in specifying and installing intruder alarms, you can be sure we will assess your needs and provide you with the best alarm for your premises.
Furthermore, if you have an intruder alarm system, this is the perfect time to schedule maintenance of your system. Regular maintenance and servicing of intruder alarms are crucial for several reasons. First, it ensures that your alarm system is functioning correctly and can effectively detect any potential intrusions. Maintenance also helps identify and address any vulnerabilities in the system that could be exploited by burglars. Additionally, regular servicing keeps your system up-to-date with the latest security features and technologies, providing enhanced protection for your premises and belongings. At Concept Fire & Security, we offer comprehensive maintenance and servicing packages for your intruder alarm systems.
Test CCTV Systems
