FML 2.6 - Facilities Service Center Building Security

Purpose

In order to safeguard our employees, assets and building to the greatest extent possible, the following procedures are in effect for the Facilities Service Center, 2400 South Race Street.

Everyone’s cooperation is required to keep the building secure and prevent unfortunate incidents.

Procedures

Locking of Entrances

All entrances (including garage doors) to the building will remain locked between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, and at all times during the weekend.

Every employee has the responsibility to check that entrance doors are locked whenever he or she exits the building during the hours noted above.   

Locking of Internal Doors

a.  During the hours that the building entrances are locked (i.e., non-work hours noted above), the doors to the central stairway leading up to the second floor, the door from the 1st floor hall into the entrance foyer and the door from the basement to the north stairway will be locked to prevent access to the second floor.

b.  Foremen are responsible for developing procedures to insure that shop areas are secured during non-work hours and at other times as appropriate.  For example, the Key Shop remains locked at all times.

Access During Non-Work Hours

• Director of Facilities must approve any key issued to an employee for this building and anyone who is given an access code to the alarm on the second level.
• All employees who work in the evenings and on weekends should take special care to make sure that not only the doors to this Facility remain locked during this time frame but that the doors in all other buildings that they work in remain locked and secure.
• Some employees must report to the building during non-work hours to pick up tools and equipment.  Employees doing so should take extra care that the building is secured when they exit.

Access List

1. A list of all people having  exterior building keys and alarm access codes will be maintained by Administrative Staff
