If there’s one phone call every business owner dreads, it’s the middle of the night call from the police informing them of a robbery at their business. Break-ins, vandalism, and other criminal activity on your business property is incredibly frustrating. It can cause significant damage, a loss of income or property, and time as you deal with the whole mess. So, what can you do to keep your building safe?
At System4 Utah, we are more than a cleaning company. We also offer facility management services. Our team can help you manage all of your facility needs, including necessary upgrades to keep your building and property safe. In addition, we can find pre-screened local vendors to install the necessary equipment and perform maintenance that can help improve the security of your business. So, what type of upgrades help? Here are a few we recommend.
- Installing floodlights and motion sensor outdoor lighting. Sufficient lighting for your building exterior and parking lots is a great way to deter criminal behavior. In addition, parking lot floodlights can provide extra protection for your customers and employees. Motion sensor lights in dark corners or vulnerable access points are a great way to keep everyone safe and ensure that your security cameras or guards can safely patrol the property.
- Proper landscaping. Poor landscaping can be a security threat. Heavy overgrowth, overhanging trees, or unruly bushes are perfect places for people to hide to avoid security cameras or guards on patrol. We can help you find a qualified landscaping team to keep your property trimmed and safe.
- Installing fences or gates. Fences and gates are a great way to keep your business safe, and they can be more cost-effective than installing a security system or hiring a guard to patrol.
- Upgrading your building entrance security. Do you know everyone who has access to your building? If you’re not sure, then it’s time to upgrade your access system. Consider installing smart locks to track who enters and when for added security.
- Repairing vulnerable access points. Do you have broken windows or rickety doors? It’s time to update these access points with something more secure. We can find qualified vendors to repair or replace them.
Making these facility upgrades can protect your business and even help with your insurance costs. But if you’re overwhelmed at the thought of how to do everything, then let us help. Our facility management team is here to ensure that qualified professionals do all the upgrades you need.
