In the Spotlight: Secure Your Premises and Keep Employees Safe

How does a public place of business create a secure workplace without feeling like a prison in lockdown? There are several approaches to security. The first thing to consider is the area you want to protect. For example, installing safety film on windows helps to protect against injuries in the event that the glass shatters. In addition to the obvious threat of doors/entrances, the mailroom is an important point of access (remember the anthrax?). If you think your business may be a target, you could consider scanning the mail and having a separate air handler in the mailroom to contain any incident.
