Keeping Your Business Secure During Summer Shut Down

The hot weather is well on its way and that means the summer shutdown for factories and businesses up and down the country is fast approaching. Which is great news for your employees, however before you close up for a week or two you need to ensure your business is safe and secure.

Many burglaries or break-ins are often a result of opportunists looking for an easy way in so it’s important for you to make sure your business is not an easy target during your summer shutdown or any other time of the year. Here are a few things for you to consider when it comes to upping the security in your business:

Invest in Timers

Many homeowners use timers on their light switches and lamps to make it look like someone is home, whether this is late at night or whilst they’re on holiday. There’s nothing stopping you from duplicating this method throughout your business too, whether it’s just a case of having a few office lights on a timer or your whole warehouse floor.

Install a CCTV System

Installing a CCTV system or even an alarm system is one of the most effective ways of deterring intruders. It also helps improve safety and security for your staff, ensuring they’re safe within your business, day or night.

Upgrade Your Boundaries

The fencing around your building is the first line of defence so if yours is looking a bit worn or outdated it may be worth considering an upgrade. The fencing solution you choose needs to be tall, sturdy and built to keep people out but it also needs be aesthetically pleasing.
