asset protection and security system
Asset protection on a building identifies and effectively manages property, technological valuables, and open spaces in a building that needs protection. Asset protection solutions monitor and alert designated administrators once a particular asset or valuable leaves the building. Structures are put in place that ensure visitors and employees are safe while in the building at all times. Certain buildings require different levels of asset protection:

    • Perimeter Security –Walls and fences with an electric circuit are implemented to protect against a lurking intruder. Electric fences deter intruders from scaling the wall and jumping down into the building. With perimeter security, security guards may also be stationed on all access areas at the building’s entry gates.

 

    • Gate Entry System – This system works by monitoring people’s movement in and out of the building. All personnel must pass security clearance at the entrance gate before accessing the building. Permission is also granted only to specific areas of the building.

 

    • CCTV Camera System – CCTV cameras installed at strategic points can recognize movement and persons inside the building and can also capture vehicle registration. Administrators can link CCTV security systems with a mobile device for monitoring remotely.

 

    • Intruder Alarms – In asset protection, intruder alarms are vital, going off in case of intruders on the premises. Most intruder alarms sound a deafening alarm, deterring intruders from accessing the building.

These are only a handful of security solutions your company may consider implementing at your facility.  For more information on building security systems, please contact us.

Going green isn’t just a public relations stunt. It’s a movement that reaps its own rewards for years to come. To help start the process, these four steps can help you strategize your plans towards becoming a greener company.

1. Do Your Research 

Before implementing a green initiative at your facility, make sure you understand everything that going green entails. Decide what initiatives are a good fit for your company to start with. Are there green programs that might require more time and money than your organization can commit now? Put those lower on your list. It’s a good idea to start with something easily actionable that will yield quick results and get people excited immediately. Then move to more difficult initiatives.

You’ll also want to check within your organization and see whether anyone else is already leading a green program. Partner with them if you can!

2. Evaluate Everything 

Green is a big business these days. Companies know they can make more money by including the word on their product or program. Make sure you look into every claim. Utilize the research you did in the first step to make sure you are investing your time and money in a truly green product.

3. Invest in Green Cleaning Supplies

Green cleaning is a great way to get people in your organization excited right away, especially with the growing number of individuals with chemical sensitivities. Just make sure that once again you evaluate every claim! Don’t spend money on cleaning supplies that claim they are green but really aren’t any better than the products you already use.

4. Run the Numbers 

You’ve done your research. You’ve found a green initiative to start on. Now it’s time to run the numbers of different service providers. With the amount of competition in the green movement, you should get a fair price. Going green shouldn’t cost big bucks.

At BCS Performance Solutions, we are committed to helping you realize the benefits of going green. For more information, contact us.
