Threat of Holiday Vandalism and Theft
Holidays are open invitations for vandals and thieves.
With holidays comes a number of risks for businesses. In most cases, holidays result in smaller staff, or none at all, for periods of time at your business.
From a vandal or a thief's point of view, nothing could be more tempting.
The key to diminishing the potential for vandalism or theft during a holiday is to be prepared and take the proper steps.
5 Safety Tips for Businesses During the Holidays
Communicate with your staff. As a business owner or manager, you are responsible for the property and employees under your supervision. Speak with your workers about potential risks that could occur during holidays.
Decorate with care. If the holiday is one that involves decorations at your place of business, realize that those additions can present safety hazards. Maxxguard services can send a security expert to your business to make safety recommendations.
Remove or hide valuables prior to the holiday or during the holiday break. If your business features easy to get to items, or windows that give a clear view of merchandise or other valuables, consider removing or hiding them. If there are typically large amounts of cash, jewelry, or other valuables on your property, it may be best to move them to a more secure location during the holiday period.
Hire security guards. Security guards or scheduled security guard patrols, from Maxxguard, can be a great deterrent against vandals and thieves who otherwise see your property as an easy target.
Conduct a security inspection. Schedule a security inspection with Maxxguard to review your property, potential weak security areas or access points, and receive suggestions regarding how to reduce or eliminate potential vandalism or theft.
