But
before you invest in complex access systems first of all do the simple
things – for example push button locks on internal doors so anyone who
gains access cannot get very far. Also, make sure you put up ‘staff
only’ signs to show what is off-limits and ensure staff automatically
challenge strangers.
Visitor
Management / Reception Security
Do you know that a visitor / contractor who comes into your school is
who they say they are? Halon Bank’s Visitor Express system is the
perfect solution to this problem.
Personal
Security
Increasingly staff in every business are subject to personal attack.
There are two types of personal attack switches – fixed and mobile.
Fixed personal attack switches – are ideal for use in schools where
staff are usually at one location. They are small and unobtrusive and
feature two buttons that must be pressed simultaneously in order to
minimise the risk of accidental activation.
CCTV
CCTV is not as expensive as many might think, indeed electronic
surveillance systems can be one of the most cost-effective measures you
can adopt for your premises. They have the wider benefits of enabling
traffic management and the management of personnel.
