REVIEW SECURITY IN 2022

The new year brings with it an opportunity to put our yearlong learnings into action. For businesses in particular, the start of a new year offers the chance to review security and ultimately re-evaluate the positives and negatives as well as identifying areas of improvement.

Taking into consideration the current climate surrounding COVID-19, it has become imperative for all businesses to prioritize physical security to ensure employees and others are kept safe. Although government restrictions have eased since the initial outbreak, it is still just as important to keep certain security measures in place, especially with new variants on the rise.

Having supported numerous clients through the pandemic, we recognise the steps that need to be taken to allow for a safe and ‘COVID’ secure premise. Here are the crucial questions you need to consider when reviewing your security in 2022:

Can you easily and efficiently monitor occupancy?

To avoid overcrowding on your premise and to control social distancing, it’s important to deploy solutions that can monitor occupancy. The most effective method of doing this is by having a security guard on the scene. A security guard can help with enforcing safety regulations and applying a higher level of crowd control and traffic management, as opposed to an employee who may not be adequately trained for such situations.

Are you safely utilizing space?

With many people back at the office, after a year of working from home, many organizations have been busy optimizing their workplace. Whether that be adding more desks, fitting Covid screens, separating seating spaces etc. businesses have had to review security and make informed floorplan changes to ensure their premise can be used safely. If you are unsure what arrangements need to be made for your premise to be more Covid secure, our team can help with preparing a risk assessment.

Now more than ever, people are relying on businesses to offer a safe and secure environment for them whilst on their premise. If you would like to discuss how our professional team can help you in managing your security, please call 01274 028810 or email info@virpiosecurity.co.uk
