A few areas to highlight for this month,
Hijack!/Smash and Grab
The incident in Vainona at the gate is a reminder for
all of us about awareness entering and leaving the property. If you have a
guard he should be stepping out into the road when the gate opens to provide
additional security at the gate. Make sure the area is clear before entering.
Do not leave valuables on the seats and in view.
Affordable Outside Alarm
The number of thefts from the yard continue to rise.
The cost of installing external sensors, and the power back up sometimes
needed, has ruled this installation out for many. We now have a great set
of tried and tested and affordable external wireless sensors. We have a
special on whilst stocks last!! They really are very good and come with a two
year warranty.
Safeguard Engineering
I have had a few calls from clients referring to a
rumour that our engineering business has closed. This is not correct. This business is going strong, and
continues to manufacture ,install and support electric fencing XPANDA trellis
gates, bars and grilles, electric gates, automated sliding doors, roller
shutter doors (automated and manual) as well as a range of fencing and
walling
.
What we have done is to move the after sales support
to our Rhodesville office in Harare. This really has made a difference to our
support for these products and the feedback has been good so far (if you have
comments on this please send to me ).We have also established local support for
these products in each centre.
More news on engineering next month!
Training Centre
Our training centre is really starting to get into
gear and we have been working our men and women through a number of refresher
courses for the different industries. If you have areas in our service or staff
training that you feel need attention, or specific training you would like for
your site, please let us know and we will work on them with you.
Have a good June!
Thank you for using Safeguard
