STELLAR SECURITY THAT
WON’T COST THE EARTH
By Jeremy Cassady, Managing Director of Securikey
As part and parcel of managing the health
and safety of any business and its employees,
it is essential to conduct regular risk
assessments to identify potential risks in the
workplace and to implement the appropriate
physical security measures. Priorities for
protection should focus on: People (staff,
visitors, contractors, customers), Physical
Assets (buildings, contents, equipment) and
Information (electronic and paper data).
Leading manufacturers of security products,
such as Securikey, offer many solutions to suit
every company size and budget as well as
offering long term functionality. Here are a
few examples of how to keep employees and
assets safe at a relatively low cost:
Reflect and React
A popular and extremely cost-effective
alternative to cameras is the convex mirror or
safety mirror. Used extensively in a diverse
range of environments, convex safety mirrors
When choosing a convex mirror, it is
recommended that security personnel seek
advice from organisations such as Secured
By Design (SBD). SBD is the official UK Police
flagship initiative whose objective is to ‘design
out crime’ with approved physical security and
their principles have been proven to achieve a
reduction of crime risk by up to 75%.
With such a universal range of options
available, business and workforce security
needn’t cost the earth financially or
environmentally and, in addition to offering
high quality products to meet the security
requirements of the business, a good supplier
will also provide comprehensive advice from
initial enquiry through to final installation,
ensuring the ultimate protection for the
company’s assets, premises and staff.

aware of their surroundings. Different convex
mirrors have many different applications and

for an organisation’s needs. In addition, each
mirror must be positioned to give the most
comprehensive view and expert advice, as
well as free guides, are available from leading

informed decision that will precisely meet
