As temperatures rise and daylight hours extend, it’s natural for businesses to adopt a more relaxed atmosphere. However, this seasonal shift can inadvertently lead to lapses in security, making commercial properties more vulnerable to opportunistic crimes. At 3000 Security Services, we understand the unique challenges that summer presents, and our team of commercial security professionals are here to help you keep your premises secure.
Avoid Unsecured Entry Points
Open doors and windows may provide much-needed ventilation during hot days, but they also offer easy access for intruders. Ensure that all entry points are monitored and secured when not in use. Consider installing window restrictors and door alarms to alert staff if they’re left open too long or accessed unexpectedly.
Reinforce Lock-Up Procedures
The extended daylight can lead to complacency in end-of-day routines. Reinforce the importance of thorough lock-up procedures with your team, ensuring that all doors, windows, and access points are securely closed and locked after business hours.
Test Security Systems Regularly
Before the summer season is in full swing, conduct a comprehensive check of your security systems. Verify that CCTV cameras are functioning correctly, alarm systems are operational, and any security lighting is in good working order. Regular maintenance can prevent potential system failures when you need them most.
Manage Deliveries and Access Points
With staff taking holidays and schedules varying, it’s crucial to have a clear plan for managing deliveries and controlling access to your premises. Implement a sign-in procedure for visitors and ensure that unattended deliveries are stored securely out of sight.
Secure Vacant or Low-Use Areas
Parts of your property that are used less frequently during the summer can become targets for vandalism or unauthorised access. Regularly inspect these areas, keep them well-lit, and consider additional security measures such as motion detectors or temporary CCTV installations.
Display Visible Security Measures
Visible deterrents can be highly effective. Signage indicating the presence of CCTV surveillance, alarm systems, or security patrols can discourage potential intruders from targeting your property.
