What Are the Best Personal Safety Tips?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Opening the Business:\u00a0<\/strong>If possible, two or more employees should unlock the business together. One should stay outside while the other checks the interior. After clearing the area, both may enter the building.<\/li>\n
  2. Closing the Business:\u00a0<\/strong>Staff should accompany each other to their vehicles, especially at night. If this is not an option, look for a security guard who may be able to walk you out to your vehicle or park in a well-lit area.<\/li>\n
  3. Panic Buttons: <\/strong>Panic buttons should be installed at the front entry point of your business. Also, make sure that there is a line of communication at all entry points.<\/li>\n
  4. Bank Deposits:\u00a0<\/strong>Employees making bank deposits should always go in pairs. If you are alone, vary the times of deposits. Carry the deposit bag in a simple\/everyday bag. Never use bank bags as this is apparent for hold-ups.<\/li>\n
  5. Parking & Walk Areas: <\/strong>Make sure all parking areas are well-lit at night and early morning. This prevents dark areas for an assailant to hide. Also, keep the building clear of bushes and debris<\/li>\n
  6. Controlling Access:\u00a0<\/strong>Keep secondary exits locked. Limit secondary exits by marking them as “Emergency Exit Only.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
