How Are You Protecting Your Business?

Monday, 29 June 2009 20:16 by admin
Did 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.

Running a Safe Business Has Many Benefits

Saturday, 20 June 2009 00:34 by admin
As 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.

Security Industry Terms

Monday, 6 April 2009 00:23 by admin

Panic Button

A panic button is a remote control device or a button on a security control panel that sends an alarm signal without requiring the use of a security access code.

Panic Pendant

A panic or medical pendant is a portable electronic device that sends a wireless signal to the security control panel. They can be worn around the neck with a neck strap, clipped to a belt, or placed in wall-mounted holders.

Radio Backup

This state of the art technology allows us to install a radio alarm backup system without telephone lines. These cellular backup support systems may also be added to your present alarm protection system as a back-up which send alarm signals by radio to the central surveillance monitoring station.

Sensor

A sensor is a device that detects a change from one state to another.

Smoke Detector

A smoke detector is an electronic device which senses the presence of smoke and sends a smoke alarm signal to the security control panel. A smoke detector conveys early detection of a fire by an audible alarm warning.

Waterflow Alarm

The waterflow alarm is a type of emergency safety alarm which is activated by the flow of water though a fire sprinkler system. This flow alarms the central surveillance monitoring station and alerts the authorities concerned.

Phone Connections

Monday, 6 April 2009 00:03 by admin
Alarms can be setup as stand alone systems. To connect them into the telephone lines, it needs to be done correctly, or else someone could prevent the system from dialing out by simply taking a house phone off the hook. This trick is called line siezure, and is accomplished by circuitry built into nearly all modern alarm controls. The FCC and telecom providers require a means to disconnect alarm systems from the house wiring, for testing and repairs. This is accomplished using a RJ-31x jack and cord.
