Lighting
The lighting in your office might not seem like it will make much of an impact on your business, but actually it will help to protect you and keep your assets safe from untrustworthy employees. It will be a rare occasion that you have an employee who will try to steal from you, but it is an issue which can affect you. By having great lighting in the office as well as a few cameras in the office, you will be able to keep an eye on your workers and it will be much more difficult for them to do anything to you.
Emergency Plans
As rare as it may be that you get into an accident or have any kind of incident at work, but it is something which is always a real possibility. It is important before you hire anyone else into the business that you take the time to put in place some fire safety regulations and that you have a clear cut emergency escape route. Be sure to have the emergency service numbers, maps to direct people out of the building, a fire assembly point as well as a register of names. You will also want to know the protocol for things such as natural disasters and gas leaks. Even though these situations might never be an issue, you are best off being prepared.
Keep the office secure
As well as making sure that your data, documents, assets and employees are safe; you’ll also want to think about the office itself and how secure it is. Be sure to take the time to install an ID or fob system to the doors so that only employees or guests can enter, be sure to plant thorny bushes under the windows to keep burglars away, and add an alarm system and lots of cameras inside and out. There are a lot of different things you can bring into the office to keep it safe and secure and it is super important for you to take every second you can to create a safe environment for everyone in the building.
