• Lock valuables in desk drawer or locker.
• Report all suspicious vehicles/people.
• Know the location of the nearest exit.
• If working after hours, keep all doors and windows locked.

WHILE WAITING FOR AN ELEVATOR

• Stand off to the side.
• If confronted, push the emergency and all floor buttons.
• DO NOT push the stop button; you may get trapped.

IF YOU MUST WORK ALONE

• Advise company security (if applicable). Tell them you are working alone and ask them to check in on you periodically.

• Let family/friends know your schedule. Advise them you will call before you leave shift.
