General Office Security
If you see suspicious persons or activity in the building, please call security immediately at 312-466-3930. If possible, make note of appearance, clothing, etc. in order to assist building security in locating them.
The following is a list of general office security suggestions, which are offered to you as an aid in establishing your internal security procedures:
● Restrict office keys to those who actually need them.
● Keep complete, up-to-date records of the distribution of all office keys.
● Establish uniform procedures for collecting keys prior to the termination of employees.
● Establish a rule that keys must never be left unguarded on desks or cabinets.
● Require that filing cabinet keys be removed from locks and placed in a secure location after opening cabinets.
● Prevent unauthorized personnel from reporting a lost key and receiving a replacement.
● Ensure that a responsible person is in charge of issuing all keys.
● Store keys systematically in a secured wall cabinet of either your own design or one that conforms to a commercial key control system.
● Insist on identification from repairmen who come to work in your office.
● Clear all desks of important papers.
● When working alone in the office at night, lock the front door to prevent anyone else from entering.
● Keep the police, fire department, and building security telephone numbers posted.
● Double check to see that all doors are securely locked before you leave.
