Did you know…
As an employee, it is your responsibility to:
- Have your identification card visible on you at all times and never lend it to anyone.
- Pre-register your visitors and escort them at all times inside facilities.
- Politely challenge individuals whom you do not recognize on your floor and whose access/visitor card is not readily visible. Ask them if they are looking for someone or if they need help locating a meeting room. If unable to locate a contact, kindly ask them to leave the premises and inform your manager.
- Make sure that no one tries to slip in behind you when you enter your work area. This is called “tailgating”.
