Site Location
Security should include where the building is and how it
should be built.
Crime?
Riots?
Natural disasters?
Adjacent buildings?
Airport?

Best Practices
Fire Containment System (floors, vents, HVAC)
Fire Extinguishing System (permanent & mobile)
Abiding by the Fire Codes
Fire Prevention Training and Drills
Fire
Fire Prevention reduce causes of fire.
Fire Detection - receive warnings of fire
before it becomes a problem.
Fire Suppression - how to extinguish and
contain a fire to minimize damage.
Fire Prevention
Use fire resistant materials for walls, doors, furnishings, etc.
Reduce the amount of combustible papers around electrical
equipment.
Provide fire-prevention training to employees - remember, life
safety is the most important issue.
Conduct fire drills on all shifts so that personnel know how to
safely exit a building.
Fire Detection
Ionization-type smoke detectors detect charged particles in
smoke.
Optical (Photoelectric) detectors react to light blockage caused by
smoke.
Fixed or rate-of-rise temperature sensors - heat detectors that
react to the heat of a fire.
Combinations are usually used for the best effectiveness in
detecting a fire.
Fire Suppression
Water Sprinkler Systems
Water could be a conductor of electricity - it may compound the
problems in computer rooms.
Water can cause damage to electrical equipment.
Pre-action or dry-pipe system - water is held back by a valve
and is released when the sensor activates.
Electrical Power
Disruptions in electrical power can have a serious business
impact.
Goal is to have clean and steady power.
Dedicated feeders
Alternate power source
Access Controls
Secure breaker and transformer rooms

The law
Sexual harassment is against the law. Some types of sexual
harassment may also be offences under criminal law and should
be reported to the police, including indecent exposure, stalking,
sexual assault and obscene or threatening communications,
such as phone calls, letters, emails, text messages and postings
on social networking sites.
SUMMARY
The goals of physical controls are to prevent, delay, detect,
assess, and appropriately respond to a physical intrusion.
Natural or environmental, utility system, and human-made factors
can all pose threats to physical security.
The three key strategies for crime prevention through
environmental design are territoriality, surveillance, and access
control.
The most important concept to remember when implementing
physical security controls is to ensure the safety of people.
