Most oil and gas companies require employees to use sophisticated security badges and visitor management systems to ensure unwanted guests do not enter the office building.  As a result, employees are instructed to NEVER allow someone to tailgate (follow behind them) into the office building.  Doing so may put all employees in the office building at risk for physical harm and may create opportunities for loss of company protected information.

Additional employee personal safety and security precautions include:

• Preventing employees from carrying firearms and concealed weapons in office buildings and employee parking garages.
• Creating guidelines for employees to recognize and report strange employee behavior and how to proceed in the case of a workplace incident.
• Creating guidelines for employees to recognize and report strange objects and objects left unattended and how to proceed in the case of a bomb threat, etc.
