Working with transport is a vulnerable profession that places high demands on safety. Do you have a comprehensive security solution for your transport business? Here we list six ways to increase the security of your staff and business.
1. Has the alarm's best-before date passed?
Burglar alarms are a central part of securing vehicles and spaces, but keep in mind that alarms don't last as long as you'd like. Like other technology, they need to be updated periodically to ensure that their effectiveness hasn't expired. You should also evaluate whether your business needs a higher alarm class, especially if you have grown or if security needs have changed since the last time.
2. Safety alarm for safer solo work
If you have employees who work alone for long periods, it is important that they feel safe. Even if you already have some safety solutions, it might be worth considering additional protection for solo work. Today, portable security alarms are available that employees can easily carry. These are ideal for those moving between different vehicles and locations.
3. Fire protection for the vehicle
Are your fire extinguishers equipped to handle a larger fire, or are they only designed for smaller ones? Fires in vehicles can escalate rapidly. Ensure that your fire protection systems and equipment are properly suited to the task and in good working order. Protectas can assist with your complete fire protection needs and also provides fire safety training for you and your staff.
4. Switch from keys to a smart access system
Worried about lost keys and unauthorized access to your premises after hours? Switching to a smart access system can eliminate these concerns. If a key card is lost, it can be quickly blocked, solving the issue instantly. A smart system also gives you an overview of who has access and allows you to restrict access to specific areas as needed.
5. Use camera surveillance
Whether for goods transport or passenger transport, security is essential. Video surveillance is a highly effective way to deter and prevent crimes such as theft, vandalism, and equipment damage. Many businesses opt for cameras in garages and public areas related to transport, but cameras can also be installed on vehicles transporting valuable goods. We can help advise you on the best ways to secure your business with cameras.
6. Guard presence increases security
In public transport, the flow of people varies throughout the day. At times, large crowds can increase risks like pickpocketing, while at quieter times, passengers may feel unsafe and be more vulnerable to crimes like robbery. Having security personnel patrol at regular intervals offers immediate protection and increases safety for everyone.
