Enhancing Workplace Safety with Intrusion Detection Systems

 

As more and more people move back from a hybrid or remote workspace to in-person collaboration, you want to do your best to ensure workplace security. Beyond giving your employees peace of mind that they won’t be at risk, there is the issue of maintaining your private areas for the appropriate users.

At Westek Systems, we provide comprehensive solutions for workplace safety and security, from access controls to video surveillance to integrated systems and more. As the threats of an unsecured environment increase, our team stays on the cutting edge of providing solutions.

Every consultation is unique to your situation, but you follow a simplified roadmap to boost your workplace through intrusion detection systems.

Step 1: Perform a Risk Assessment

Figure out where your access points are (including doorways, windows, and more) and map them out. You want a detailed insight into all the nooks and crannies where someone may be seeking to intrude on your property. These are the locations where access controls, cameras, or surveillance systems will likely be enforced.

Step 2: Craft a New Security Policy

Intrusion detection systems are only one part of a robust security policy. You need to educate your employees about what is and what is not appropriate. You never know when someone posing as a delivery person sneaks into your data stacks or asset storage. Ensure everyone is aware of what policies you are putting in place to reduce risk.

Step 3: Embrace Access Controls

Locks and keys are an excellent first line of defense, but modern workplace security is all about smart solutions. You want key card systems, biometric authentications, or other modern access control solutions that reduce the chance someone without appropriate access isn’t entering a high-security area (both internally and externally).

Step 4: Contact Our Team

Now that you have a better understanding of your weak points in your physical location, it’s time to talk to a professional. Our team at Westek Systems can implement intrusion detection systems that cover all those areas you have noticed in your audit process. Even better, we can perform our own analysis to ensure anything you may have missed gets appropriately addressed.

Step 5: Continually Evolve

Our professionals keep an eye on the latest developments in workplace security. We can adjust, test, and maintain systems so you are able to respond to modern needs before they become obsolete.

Workplace security isn't a one-person show. It's a collective effort. California is no stranger to crime, and you want everyone on your team on board new security measures. Without comprehensive intrusion detection systems for enhancing your workplace security, you risk theft, dangerous situations, or escalating confrontations.

Our team can suggest and implement a wide array of solutions designed to proactively monitor and help prevent unwanted situations from happening to your team. Let’s find a time to discuss how we can work together to improve the safety and security of your employees, clients, customers, and stakeholders.
