If this makes you uncomfortable, inform security or management about your suspicions. • Always let someone know where you’ll be - whether it’s coming in late, working late, going to the photocopier or mail room, going out to lunch or a meeting. • Report any broken or flickering lights, dimly lit corridors, doors that don’t lock properly, or broken windows. Don’t wait for someone else to do it. • Be discreet. Don’t advertise your social life or vacation plans and those of your co-workers to people visiting or calling your place of work. • Stairwells and out-of-the-way corridors - Don’t use the stairs when alone. Talk to the building manager about improving poorly lighted corridors and stairways. • Elevators - Don’t get into elevators with people who look out of place or behave in a strange or threatening manner. If you find yourself in an elevator with someone who makes you nervous, get off as soon as possible. • Restrooms - Attackers can hide in stalls and corners. Make sure restrooms are locked and only employees have keys. Be extra cautious when using restrooms that are isolated or poorly lighted. • After hours - don’t work late alone. Create a buddy system for walking to the parking lots or public transportation, or ask security to escort you. • Parking lots or garages - Choose a well-lighted, well-guarded parking garage. Always lock your vehicle and roll the windows all the way up. If you notice any strangers hanging around the parking lot, notify security or the police. When you approach your car, have the key ready. Check the floor of both the front, and the back seats before getting in your car. Lock your car as soon as you get in - before you buckle your seat belt. Help Prevent Office Theft andOther RelatedCrimes
