When people park in your lot, they expect safety. Whether it's someone stealing their car or an attack, people don't want to park in unsafe conditions. You are in control of safety. There are a number of measures you can take to enhance safety around your parking lot to keep your customers protected. Here are just some of the things you can do to accomplish this.
Phone System
In this technologically advanced world, nearly everyone has a smartphone; however, in the event of an emergency, it might not be immediately accessible. Additionally, if your lot is a concrete or steel structure, a smartphone's cellular signal might be unavailable. Installing emergency phones around the lot is an excellent way to overcome these concerns and promote safety. In the event of an emergency, lot tenants can quickly access the phone and call for help.
LED Lighting
Change out any existing incandescent bulbs and upgrade to LED lighting. LED lighting can enhance security in a number of different ways. LED lights are able to illuminate a wider area of space than traditional bulbs. This can help minimize blind spots around the parking area and most importantly, it can make the area brighter. The brighter the space, the easier it is for tenants to be aware of their surroundings and if you have safety cameras installed, this will also make it easier for your security personal to view activity.
Barrier System
Consider installing a parking barrier system to improve security. This addition can be especially beneficial if your concern is keeping unwanted vehicles out of your lot. A barrier system is generally designed as part of an access control system that allows you to restrict who has access to your lot. Whether it's a key card or special code, without the required credentials, vehicles won't be able to access the lot. For more information, contact companies like Eastco; Mfg Corp.
Warning Signage
The average criminal is looking for an easy target. If a thief believes your lot isn't equipped with any type of security measures, you will likely fit into the easy target category. It's a good idea to add warning signage to your lot. For example, you can put up signs stating that the area is patrolled by an armed guard, under twenty-four-hour surveillance or even that all intruders will be prosecuted. This signage can serve deterrent.
Make sure you are keeping security a top priority to protect your parking lot tenants and their belongings.
