Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

If you feel as though your business premises are not being maintained as well as they should be, then it’s important to do something about this. If you don’t, then you may find that you end up with a compromised business image, when in reality, all of this could be avoided.

Alarms and Locks

One of the things you need to do is make sure that you are maintaining your business alarms and locks. You need to make sure that your alarms are approved by your insurer and that you are also taking the time to check them on a regular basis. If you want to keep your business secure, then you should probably change your PIN codes regularly, too. Of course, keeping your team updated is so important here, because if you don’t, then you may find that you end up causing frustration when people need to get somewhere. Lock access points with locks that conform to the latest standards as well. If you have a lot of keys, then labelling them is probably a good idea, while ensuring that you are not giving your team access to areas that hold important data.

Routine Maintenance

You also need to make sure that you are carrying out routine maintenance as well. You need to clean your gutters and make sure that you regularly paint the outside of your business premises. It may be that you also take the time to hire janitorial services. This is a good way for you to make sure that the smaller jobs, which are easy to overlook, are not being forgotten. Things like this can make a big difference to your team, so make sure that you take care of them and that you are also not leaving them until the last minute. If you do, then this can lead to the degradation of your business, and it can also lead to further repairs down the line.

CCTV

If you don’t have CCTV, then now is the time for you to change that. No matter how many eyes you have on different parts of your business, you can’t monitor everything at once. CCTV systems can also act as a deterrent. If you have not invested in CCTV yet, then now is the time for you to do something about that. Staff training in security protocols should also be considered. Your businesses are only ever as secure as your weakest link, so make sure that your team is up to date with everything and that they know what responsibilities they have. Make sure that you also have visitor protocols. People need to know who is coming in and out of your business, and they also need to know who came in and at what time, so if there is ever an issue, you know that you can resolve it quickly. If you don’t, then you may find that things escalate, when in reality, you could have avoided it from the get-go by having the right systems.
