Protecting the Workforce
The end of 2024 saw Governor Kathy Hochul sign into law varying legislation designed to protect the workforce and take a proactive stance in supporting their safety. One such law requires employers to provide training that helps prevent violence, including learning de-escalation techniques and appropriate active shooter responses. Enterprises with 500 or more employees in the state must also provide access to a silent alarm.
Taking a Proactive Stance
Businesses nationwide are looking at security systems that provide proactive measures, stopping theft and violence before it occurs. The best approach for this level of protection is not a cookie-cutter system, but starts with a comprehensive risk assessment and considers a company’s evolving needs.
Scalable in nature, these systems provide security relevant to the current business climate while looking to the future to ensure a system that can grow with the business. At Alliance Telecommunications, our risk assessments determine any vulnerabilities and physical security threats. We explore access points, surveillance needs, and mitigation plans that reduce the risk. Some security systems we may recommend include access control, surveillance cameras, and intrusion detection.
The Importance of Integration
As Aristotle said, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” When integrating proactive security measures, this statement rings especially true. Today’s smart security systems have also enhanced their capability, ensuring a unified approach when an incident arises. The following is an example of how all systems communicate as one.
When someone attempts to gain entry without the correct access credentials, intrusion detection sends real-time alerts and supports automatic lockdowns on the entire building. Smart security cameras zoom in on the area, using facial recognition to determine if the person in question is on a watch list or a past employee. With instant alerts, security personnel, administrators, or a professional monitoring team can immediately contact law enforcement, ensuring a prompt response.
Smart sensors placed on windows, doors, and other vulnerable areas detect motion, glass breaking, and unusual sounds, sending notifications before someone enters the building. Because they are smart, they differentiate people from animals and movement caused by storms and wind. This reduces false alarms and ensures you and your team only receive alerts when a security threat is imminent.
