Security Recommendations

The following information provides some suggested office safety guidelines you may find helpful.

  • If you see a suspicious person in your office, please call the Security Desk at (404) 230-7450 and we will have a Security Officer investigate.
    • Question any unknown person in your suite by asking, “May I help you?”
  • If you maintain a petty cash fund, keep the dollar amount minimal and lock it up.
    • Purses should be out of sight from anyone entering your office area. Particular care should be taken in any entry or reception areas.
    • Serial numbers of calculators, computers, and various office equipment should be recorded and kept in a safe place.
  • Restrict distribution of office keys and access cards.
    • Collect keys and access cards from terminated employees. Call the management office to deactivate card numbers of any cards you collect from terminated employees or any lost or stolen cards. If you reassign the card to a new employee, please provide us with the new employee’s name and card number by placing a service request.
    • Keep filing cabinet keys accounted for and filing cabinets locked at night.
    • Deposit incoming checks and cash so that large amounts of money are not kept in the office overnight. Company checkbooks and check cutting equipment should be secured at all times.
  • Clear desktops of important working material that should be safeguarded when you leave work.
    • Lock the entrance and back door if the reception area is left unattended.
    • Office personnel working late at night or on weekends should keep their suite doors locked at all times.
  • If you plan to work late, move your car to a parking space in front of the building or walk to your car with another employee or request a security escort.
    • Whenever walking in any parking lot, be alert! Have your keys in your hand and pay attention as you walk to your car for suspicious persons or activity.
