Your office security options
Stay safe and secure with a range of office security options for your office fit-out
It might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you are planning the fit-out for your new office space, but fitting sufficient security systems where necessary in your office is as important as having working electrics and running water. There is absolutely no point to having expensive computer systems and telecoms if you have no intention of guarding them against theft. This is where security measures are essential for your company.
If your office is part of a larger complex, there will more than likely be CCTV and security measures in place but if you are taking a stand-alone commercial property or perhaps a Grade B space that has not been updated, you will want to bring in some new security.
- The first place to make your security assessments is outside of the building in the staff car park and entrance way – is it sufficiently lit and do you have CCTV to oversee vehicles and visitors entering the premises?
- Next is the issue of personnel access – do your staff have photo ID cards and have you considered installing an ID scanner in the lobby?
- If your office is part of a warehouse or larger building, a roller shutter may be appropriate on doorways.
- Surveillance cameras are a clear choice for lobbies on street level so that you can have an added element of security should anyone suspicious wander into your offices.
