Tips for office workers

• Avoid using deserted or isolated stairways unless during an emergency.
• If it necessary to visit isolated restrooms, supply rooms or other facilities, consider traveling in pairs.
• At least two people should be in the office at all times.
• Before entering an elevator check quickly for suspicious looking people.
• If a suspicious person enters an elevator and you are uneasy, then get off right away.
• If you notice a person in an elevator has not pushed a floor indicator button, do not get off at your floor. Go back to the lobby and report the suspicious activity.
• Stand near the control buttons. If threatened or attacked, sound the alarm and push several floor buttons if possible.
• If you open the office in the morning have your keys ready and be observant.
