• Contact Nicky or John to let them know you are opening the door
• Contact again when back at your desk.
• Beware of shouting out information that informs others you are on your own e.g. “Sorry, hold on – I am on my own”
• In Winter months when it is dark in the early evenings, liaise with each other regarding leaving times so it is possible as far as is practical to leave together
• When making appointments with either customers or suppliers at the office liaise with others first to try to ensure that you are not on your own
• Ensure emergency telephone list on central wall in bold letters is upto date and includes the local police, landlord of the premises, Nicky and John in Spain etc
• Do not lift anything that is too heavy and causes undue strain
• Do not leave keys in the safe. Ensure a notice is kept on the door indicating that no money is left overnight in this safe to prevent opportunistic thieves

• Do not use the stairs unnecessarily when on your own in the building
• In Winter months especially when it is dark park as close to the front door as possible
