Business Security Tips for Closing Time

You or your employees can fall into a routine as you shut down your business at the end of every day. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you’re taking all of the precautions you can to help prevent fires and crime when you’re not around.

Here are some tips on how to help keep your business safe when you lock up for the night:

  • Keep exterior lights turned on.
  • Turn on storefront and sales area overnight lights.
  • Make sure all customers have left the premises. 
  • Turn off equipment. 
  • Store flammables and combustibles in secure locations. 
  • Lock away cash register and other valuables. 
  • Secure all equipment and stock. 
  • Secure and lock all doors and windows. 
  • Turn on your security system.

The last tip is the most important so make sure you have a security system that is up-to-date and monitored. Contact the Alpha Integrated team to learn how we can help!
