Summer is a time for vacations and relaxation, but it also presents unique security challenges. With many staff members away, facilities can become more vulnerable to security risks. Here are some practical tips to enhance security during the summer months.

Access Control Systems

Ensure your access control systems are up-to-date and functioning correctly. These systems are essential for monitoring who enters and exits the facility, helping to prevent unauthorized access. Regularly update access codes and review access permissions to maintain security.

Surveillance Cameras

Surveillance cameras are a powerful deterrent against potential intruders. Check and maintain cameras to ensure they are operational and covering all critical areas. Clear any obstructions and verify that the footage quality is adequate for identifying individuals.

Lighting

Proper lighting is a simple yet effective way to deter intruders. Increase outdoor lighting around your facility, especially in dark or secluded areas. Motion-activated lights can also provide an added layer of security by surprising and deterring trespassers.

Employee Training

Provide training for remaining staff on security protocols and emergency procedures. Ensure they know how to respond to various scenarios, such as break-ins or suspicious activity. Well-trained employees can act as a first line of defense, helping to maintain security even with reduced staff.

Regular Patrols

Schedule regular security patrols during off-hours to monitor the facility for any suspicious activity. These patrols can be conducted by security personnel or trained staff members. Visible security presence can deter potential intruders and quickly address any security concerns.

By implementing these summer security tips, you can help protect your facility even when many staff members are away. For more comprehensive security solutions, contact North Hills Facility Services to discuss your needs and schedule a security assessment.
