Making your environment more secure
Keeping your immediate environment safe
Physical environment
First, consider your environment in general. Your building will be accessible to many individuals after hours. Is your work area in an isolated part of the building or close to an exit?
Protect your computer and data
Protect your hardware, software and data
Valuable property of any type is an attractive target for thieves. Increasingly popular items are computer equipment. Take preventative action to protect these items.
Cash security
Safes, deposits and money matters
In many respects, cash is the most attractive item for thieves. Please consider the following recommendations carefully:
Offensive phone calls
What do to
Receiving indecent or harassing telephone calls can be both frightening and confusing. What are harassing or obscene phone calls? They are repeated telephone calls, where the caller intends to harass, alarm or annoy the recipient. These types of phone calls are criminal offences.
Restricted access
Lock-down of doors on off hours
As an additional safety measure, all entry/exit doors except the Macdonald-Stewart and Barton main doors are locked at 19h00, from Monday to Friday.
General emergency procedures
The Campus Security Department will immediately engage local fire, ambulance and police services, and will escort emergency vehicles through the campus.
