Christmas is a time for resting, but for you as an entrepreneur, concerns about your business can easily disturb the festive spirit. Here are some tips on how to celebrate safely.
Closing the offices during Christmas also increase the risk of burglary or unlawful entry into premises and theft. Shops and warehouses packed with valuable goods become more attractive to thieves during the holiday season.
If you don’t have an intruder alarm, now is the time to get one. Consider installing surveillance cameras to monitor your premises remotely. Hire security guards for reassuring, patrolling your property for added protection.
The holiday season is the highlight of the year for retailers, with more customers and increased sales. However, the risk of theft also rises as employees find it harder to detect shoplifters. Consider having uniformed guards patrol regularly; having them present at the exits is effective at reducing loss.
Travelling is a big part of the festive season but an empty home is an easy target for criminals. Many break-ins happen when people travel for holidays and fail to secure their property. Before leaving, make sure all doors and windows are property locked, inform your neighbour or security company to check your house occasionally or to deploy a static security guard. Avoid telling everyone in your community that you are travelling and also, unplug electrical appliances to prevent fire hazards while you are away.
December nightlife is exciting, from concerts to clubs and outdoor parties, but staying safe should remain a priority. Never accept drinks from strangers, don’t leave your drink unattended, and try to move in a group rather than alone. If you plan to drink, ensure you have a safe ride home and arranged through a verified tax services or a trusted friend.
