Employees need to feel comfortable and safe in their work environments in order to perform at their best. What are some of the ways to protect your employees so they can feel safe? Here are seven methods to implement:
Regardless of your workplace setup, proper signage and labelling is needed to help employees navigate the space safely. If you have hazardous materials, they should be labelled as such.
If there are stairs, they should be labelled as well. Don’t forget your exit signs and other safety signs that help people know what to do in the event of an emergency.
The devastating effects of COVID-19 prove that it is necessary to protect healthy employees from potential disease carriers. One way to do this is to install fever screening CCTV thermal cameras on your business premises.
These devices are intelligent camera systems that not only detect the face of people trying to enter the business place but also measure their body temperature. You can instantly be made aware of anyone who may have an elevated temperature and you will be able to deny their entry or offer other solutions.
It is difficult to predict what will happen if a fire breaks out at the workplace, if there is a fight on the production floor or if there is an earthquake, etc. However, having an employee safety guide in place offers workers an idea of best practices to follow.
Most people will remember the different protocols in an employee safety handbook and feel more secure as a result of having it.
This is another effective method for protecting employees from contracting contagious diseases. Temperature screening terminals can be used with fever screening thermal cameras or by themselves. They can alert people in charge of security, as well as medical personnel, about people who may have a high temperature.
In addition, these terminals can be used to control door entry. Some devices in this category, such as the Hikvision Touch Free terminal also come with voice prompts so a user can know what to do if he/she is detected as having a high temperature.
Security drills are especially important in helping workers know what to do in the event of a fire or earthquake. When there are quickly developing events, every second is important. Conducting drills can help employees know how best to use those precious seconds to secure themselves and others.
Monitoring who enters and exits a commercial space can be difficult, especially if there are a lot of people working in a building. Access control systems help to regulate people going in and out using a variety of technologies.
With the focus on reducing contact between people, touchless solutions are even more important. The different devices in this area include:
With the right contactless access control solutions in place, employees can rest assured that only authorized people are getting into their work areas.
All systems can fail or malfunction. If it comes down to it, an employee can protect him or herself from harm if they know some basic self-defence skills. You can encourage workers to take self-defence classes or even bring in a trainer who will teach them life-saving moves.
An insecure work setting can result in a lack of productivity, which will affect the profitability of your business. If you need help setting up a secure work environment, don’t hesitate to contact the experts at Power Right Fire Energy & Security.
