Security at Work

Never leave handbags on desks or wallets and cellular telephones in coat
pockets in your absence. Take them with you. If a locker is provided for you at
work, use it and lock it. Keep the key or combination with you or in a secure
place.

If you handle money at work, always keep it in a safe place. Don't leave petty
cash in an unlocked drawer during the day. At night, put it in the safe or
remove it from the building altogether.

Be careful with keys. Don't put spares in an unlocked drawer.

Lock windows in your absence. It's so easy to forget, especially in the
summertime, and a thief can come and go in a matter of minutes.

Never assume a stranger wandering in the building is an employee. Even a
simple "May I help you" can discourage the dishonest without interfering with
the legitimate visitor. Never leave visitors alone in the office. Check by
telephone to see if someone can see them.
