- Lock door when leaving the office, even for a moment.
- Hang coats, etc. away from the entrance so they cannot be stolen easily when you're busy.
- Keep valuables out-of-sight, keep minimum cash, and keep cash and stamps in an office safe.
- Secure purses and gift packages out-of-sight.
- Lock desks when not seated at them and lock storage areas when they're not in use.
- Be suspicious of solicitors (they may be surveying the office for a later visit). Report all solicitors to the Management Office.
- Beware of telephone calls for you to go to another location (an accomplice visits your office).
- Check identification of persons entering to perform maintenance (verify with Management Office).
- Don't let strangers enter building / area on your security identification card or key.
