MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, March 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) The website has urged organisations to asset tag their property and is keen to promote office security and safety.
According to whatishealthandsafety.co.uk, businesses lose money every year due to the theft of valuable office equipment. Many companies go under due to a lack of supplies and are unable to struggle through these difficult economic times. As a result, the site is encouraging people to invest in high-quality, customised asset tags and to review their insurance policies.
Matt Hornsby, a spokesman for the website said: "replacing computers, laptops, mobile phones and printing equipment is not cheap, so it's essential to protect your gear. Small offices are a playground for opportunistic thieves, so always make sure all equipment is accounted for."
He added: "one of the best ways to protect your supplies is by putting asset labels on every valuable item. Simply stick a security label on fixed and non-fixed assets and make sure your inventory database is up to date. Asset tags leave a terrible mark if they're tampered with and make an office item difficult to resell."
Whatishealthandsafety.co.uk has also urged business owners to make their property difficult to access by providing employees with fobs and keys. The site suggests doors should be locked whenever possible and reception stay manned at all times. Security cameras are also endorsed and the use of burglar alarms encouraged.
Commenting on the vulnerability of small businesses, Hornsby added: "a robbery can greatly affect a small business, so it's essential to protect your property. Ensure all entry points are firmly secured and employ a guard to man the premises overnight. Thieves can strike at any time and can completely devastate a company".
He wrapped by saying: "the economy is in a poor state, but a bit of forward planning could keep businesses afloat. Safeguard your property before it's too late and protect your valuable assets from theft."

Scientists discover new method of proton transfer

Low socioeconomic status means worse health -- but not for everyone
2012-03-22
Poverty is bad for your health. Poor people are much more likely to have heart disease, stroke, and cancer than wealthy people, and have a lower life expectancy, too. Children who grow up poor are more likely to have health problems as adults.
But despite these depressing statistics, many children who grow up poor have good health. In a new article published in Perspectives on Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, Edith Chen and Gregory E. Miller of the University of British Columbia suggest a possible reason: some children have ...
