5 Workplace Security Systems that Every Organisation Should Have

Corporate offices are more and more realising the need for security devices to ensure workplace safety. Focusing on workplace safety is the first step to improve productivity, confidence, and motivation in the employees and guarantee a swift workflow. Thus, today, every office need to equally focus on security installations apart from general electrical installations.


Here are some top-priority security devices discussed install which can make your organisation’s members feel safer.

Surveillance cameras
No doubt, CCTV cameras installed in and out the office premise is the first security requirement. It will prevent trespassing incidences, unethical activities by any member, violence or any undesirable incidents like thefts. While security cameras are much needed as a precautionary measure, they also help the top management personnel to keep minute-to-minute watch on every department and their employees. So, the camera records are useful later in resolving any issue related to productivity, performance or anything else.

Smart Intercoms
The use of smart intercom systems in corporate houses not only promotes hassle-free communication across the organisation but also prevents the entry of suspicious visitors. Intercom is a talkback or voice communication system that is mostly installed at the entrance of a building and has other receiving systems installed in different interior parts of the building. It enables both way communication and hence has circuitry to allow the transmission of voice messages, photo or video to other parts of the building.

Access control systems
These give employees the freedom to choose the right level of security for their restricted areas and systems. They will allow only authorised access to certain work department or systems by using access ID or particular codes. These systems also include the analytics of the users and hence allow the management to keep a track of everything like who has used/accessed the system, for what purpose, and the time for which it is being used.

Smart locks
Smart lock systems equipped with sensors are key equipment to protect departments or rooms that keep essential documents, confidential business information, customer records, finances, etc.  These locks are extremely advanced and can be operated (unlocked) only with the unique PIN that is set and known by the owner only.  So, only owners and trusted members with whom the owner of the company has shared the PIN can unlock the smart locks. Many of such locks are also operated by a one-time generated PIN, i.e. OTP which is sent to the owner’s mobile during the access and are more applicable for doors of chambers which need tighter security.

Fire/Smoke Alarms
Smoke/fire or an intruder alarm is in the most elementary security device for every office. While most offices already have them, they need to upgrade or replace them with modern alarms that are equipped with multiple sensors (smoke, heat, and gas detector), motion detectors (like vibration), and automatic transmission of alerts to the control panel.

Key Takeaway
With these key security installations, every workplace is considered eligible to safeguard their members. If your workplace still does not have these security aspects, we assume that your workers are fearful every time in doing their job. So, it’s high time to get these security devices installed with the help of a professional general electrical services provider in Australia. By preventing trespassing and thefts to immoral activities and accidents within the office premise, they will provide all-round safety to the employees of your office and promote their wellness.
