Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a set of design principles used to discourage crime. The concept is simple: buildings and properties are designed to prevent damage from the force of the elements and natural disasters; they should also be designed to prevent crime. CPTED principles are based on anticipating the thought processes of a potential offender, and creating an environment that discourages follow-through. CPTED has the added advantage of creating a sense of security and well-being among employees and tenants. When CPTED is put into practice, the resulting environment – including the building and its surroundings – will discourage or impede criminal behavior, and at the same time encourage honest citizens to keep a watchful eye.

adminDid you know that approximately 60% of temporary employees have criminal histories? According to the FBI, a violent murder occurs in the workplace every 19 minutes. Make sure the company you hire your temp services from do a complete background check before sending you an employee. You should make your future permanent employees sign a Background and Credit Check Consent Form before you hire them, and the follow through with a complete check to ensure the safety of your business. It may take time you don't think you have, but in the end it could save you a whole lot of grief if a “bad” employee slips through the cracks.

adminYour home is one of your most valuable assets. Not just because of property value and and all your material possessions inside, but it is where you eat, sleep, relax and raise your children. No matter what city or neighborhood you live in, you should have an alarm system to protect who and what you love. Of course no one wants to imagine their home being burglarized but a good security system can help prevent that disaster from becoming a reality. There are several different types of alarm systems you can choose from like intrusion alarms, panic button alarms, and glass breaking alarms. All vary in levels of effectiveness and security so it is up to you how much you want or need to be protected.

adminYou
are home alone and the door bell rings.
Do you open the door to greet a stranger or do you remain quiet and wait
for the person to just leave? One of the important things to remember here is
that, in most cases, before a criminal breaks into a home, he will most likely
ring the door bell to make sure there is no one home. If no one responds to the door bell he is
likely to assume no one is home and proceed to enter the home. As you can see this could be a very dangerous
situation so here are some tips.
- Ask “Who is it?
- Never say, “I am home alone.”
- Never open the door to a stranger.
- If you are a female home alone, speak through the door
and tell the stranger that your husband is busy right now.
- If you are a child home alone speak through the door
and tell the stranger that your dad is busy right now.
- Install a see through “peep hole” in the door so you
can observe what is going on at your front door.

adminProviding
your family with a safe home is as much your responsibility as it is your local
public safety agencies like police, fire and highway patrol. Knowing that your home is safe and protected
gives you peace of mind when you are home and away. Protecting your home does not have to be an
expensive security system that breaks the bank, though that will certainly get
the job done. Home security has a lot to
do with you and your habits, for example, if it seems like someone is always
home you will be less at risk and keeping valuable possessions concealed also
makes you less at risk. Home security
has a lot do with the safety of your neighborhood as well. Though incidents can happen to anyone, some
neighborhoods are certainly more at risk than others. Installing a burglar alarm would certainly
help make you less of a target.

adminAs
an employer, you are responsible for the health and safety of your
employees. Over the past few decades
many laws have been passed to ensure workers are protected from hazards in the
workplace, an important one the Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970. As the employer you must provide a
workplace free from recognized hazards that are causing, or are likely to
cause, death or serious physical harm to your employees regardless of the size
of your business. Providing workers with
a safe workplace is central to their ability to enjoy health, security and the
opportunity to achieve the American dream.
Addressing safety and health issues in the workplace also saves the
employer money and adds value to the businesses. Recent estimates place the business costs
associated with occupational injuries at close to $170 billion-expenditures
that come straight out of company profits.
When workers stay whole and healthy, there are many direct cost savings
like lower workers' compensation insurance costs and reduced medical
expenditures. There are also indirect
cost savings like increased productivity, increased morale and better
labor/management relations.

adminWhether for your home or workplace is it just good sense to have an
evacuation plan in case of a fire. With
fire, time is your biggest enemy and every second counts. In less than 30 seconds a small flame can
become a dangerously out of control fire and it only takes a matter of minutes
for an entire house to become engulfed in flames. When planning an evacuation plan make sure to
plan two ways out of each room. Plan a
primary route and a secondary route in case the first is blocked in any
way. Never open any doors that are hot
to the touch, even if the door is cool open it very cautiously. If you have to escape through smoke remember
to crawl low, under the smoke, and cover your mouth. Pick a designated meeting place outside that
is a safe distance from the building in order to make sure everyone is out
safely.

adminJust because you have a security guard at the entrance to your
building, don't assume that your apartment or condo is completely safe. Here are a few security tips for those of you
that live in an apartment or condo.
- Have the apartment's locks changed right when you
move in. You may feel more secure with a
deadbolt lock. Apartment renters, make
sure you have permission first.
- Use your peephole, never open the door for
strangers
- Don't leave your apartment door unlocked, even if
you're home
- Get to know your neighbors, and watch for
suspicious people on the premises
- Home security alarms are available for apartment
and condos as well; look into portable door/window alarms or a wireless home
security system ( things that can move with you when it's time to find a new
home)
- Don't leave your windows open, make sure they all
have secure locking mechanisms
- Only use your last name, or if necessary last name
and first initial, on your door or mailbox.
This keeps strangers from knowing your gender or how many people live in
your apartment.
- Protect your assets by getting renter's insurance
to protect your belongings.

adminThe
National Fire Protection Association estimates that residential fires in the
U.S. Kill 4,000-5,000 people annually and injure over 20,000. The leading cause of accidental multiple
death fires in residential properties is cigarettes. The second most common cause is from fixed or
portable heating equipment, for example: wood stoves, kerosene heaters, gas or
electric cooking stoves. Fire officials
estimate that at least 50% of lives lost due to residential fires could be
saved by installing early warning fire detection devices and developing and
practicing an evacuation plan. There are
two types of residential fire detection systems: heat and smoke detectors. The basic residential detection system relies
primarily on the use of smoke detectors. The standard does not require the use of heat detectors as part of the
basic protection scheme, but it is recommended that heat detectors be used to
supplement the basic smoke detector system.
