The cooperation of each tenant is essential to providing a safe environment for all.

The following is a list of general office security suggestions, which are offered to you as an aid in establishing your internal security procedures:

• Restrict office keys to those who actually need them.
• Keep complete, up-to-date records of the distribution of all office keys.
• Establish uniform procedures for collecting keys prior to the termination of employees.
• Establish a rule that keys must never be left unguarded on desks or cabinets.
• Be observant of unfamiliar persons in your area and if identification cannot be reasonably established, contact the Security Desk directly at 617-542-4636 or the Management Office at 617-542-2500.
• Prevent unauthorized personnel from reporting a lost key and receiving a replacement.
• Ensure that a responsible person is in charge of issuing all keys.
• Store keys systematically in a secured wall cabinet of either your own design or one that conforms to a commercial key control system.
• Insist on identification from repairmen who come to work in your office.
• Use designated secure areas within your space for the storage of packages, purses and other valuable items during both normal business hours and after hours.
• Store valuable, small, personal and company items in a locked place at the end of the business day.
• Reclaim Building Identification Cards and keys from terminated employees and report the change of employment to the Management Office.
• Promptly report any loss of property or suspicious events to the Management Office or the Security Desk.
• When working alone in the office at night, lock the front door to prevent anyone else from entering.
