4 Measures You Need To Take To Secure Your
Warehouse?

• With many growing businesses, the need to
  maintain security over your warehouse becomes a
  primary concern. You can't afford to have missing
  product or materials when you're struggling with
  order fulfillment. Your reputation and profit
  rely on keeping the premises safe. Here are some
  crucial steps to keeping your warehouse secure.

1. Require Guests to Sign In

• Any secure business requires a sign-in for
  all visitors, even family of employees, job
  applicants, or contractors. Post a sign at all
  entrances to let guests know they must stop at
  the front desk to fill out a log with their names
  and contact info, purpose of visit, and be issued
  an easily-recognized "VISITOR" badge. This should
  be the practice, even with special event security
  such as company celebrations or client
  conferences. For added security, you might also
  want to check IDs and note arrival and departure
  times.

2. Multiple Forms of Surveillance

• Proper business security involves constant
  surveillance. Video cameras at every point of
  access, offices, high-value product locations,
  and wherever visibility is poor such as long
  aisles, blind corners, and tall storage cabinets.
  A company culture that encourages security
  awareness and vigilance among employees is also
  important. Security alarms and sensor-activated
  lights and cameras should also monitor the
  exterior and any vehicle parking.

3. Security Guards

• Nothing beats eyes and ears and trained
  security guards on the premises, especially at
  night and on weekends when there a few or no
  regular employees on hand. Just having a security
  patrol around the grounds can discourage
  intruders and thieves. A security agency can
  provide both armed unarmed guards who can
  monitor other forms of surveillance and respond
  quickly to any security threat.

4. Uniforms and Name Badges

• One of your best investments is a modern,
  automated security system. All employees should
  be issued name badges that include coded magnetic
  strips so that they become card keys for quick
  scans at secured checkpoints and doors. Different
  colors and styles of uniforms or coveralls can be
  issued to distinguish between warehouse
  employees, maintenance workers, and security. The
  combination of badge and uniform makes it that
  much harder for intruders to impersonate
  employees.

• While multiple levels of security can keep
  your property safe, hiring security guards is the
  best deterrent. The visible presence of active,
  uniformed security guards generally scares off
  petty criminals, while trained security personnel
  can react appropriately to any emergency
  situation.
