Ensuring the safety of your business or any commercial building that you own should always be a priority throughout the year. What better time to invest in security than at the start of the new year?  As you prepare for 2019, consider the many ways in which you can protect both your employees and your property this year with a professional security guard service for your business.

Increase Lighting as a Safety Measure

Lighting is an essential aspect of building safety, as it allows everyone to see both inside and outside of your property. This element of security is especially important during winter months because of parking lots and walkways becoming dark earlier.  Not only does a well-lit parking lot allow your security guards to see clearly around your property, but it also helps to ensure the safety of employees who are entering and exiting your building in the evening. With the right lighting, you can also reduce the potential for break-ins by individuals who may otherwise take advantage of a dimly lit property.

Invest in Alarms and Security Presence for Preparedness

With the presence of a professional security guard patrolling your property, you can also reduce your risk for break-ins or questionable activity around your business. Alarms are also another excellent investment as an additional security measure, as it will help to notify authorities immediately of an emergency. This will help to ensure that your employees and your property can be protected in the event of a break-in, a fire, or a dangerous circumstance in your business.

Implement a Consistent Security Presence

A consistent security presence will not only help to keep your premises and employees secure, but it will also show your employees and visitors that you value their safety and well-being. Create a professional and secure security presence for your business at the start of the new year with a professional security guard present at the entrance of your building. This step will also help with visitor management, ensuring that all individuals in your building are accounted for at all times.
