Upgrade the security of your home with a CCTV system

For the ultimate in home security a combined alarm and CCTV system is pretty hard to beat. CCTV can be used to monitor the interior and exterior of your home, providing you with clear images which can be used in the event of a break in. However the sight of a CCTV camera alone is enough to put off the majority of intruders, helping to make CCTV a highly effective security tool for residential properties.

Our advice on ensuring electrical safety in the workplace

Electrical installations in Leeds

If you run your own business it is important that you’re aware of your obligations in terms of electrical safety. From ensuring electrical equipment is installed correctly through to regular electrical safety cheques, the importance of electrical safety in the workplace should never be underestimated.

Regardless of the size of your business – whether you are based in a small office or a large factory – failure to ensure electrical safety can present a serious hazard to your staff, your property and your business. Here’s what you need to be aware of to ensure your business is safe and protected:

  • A risk assessment of all electrical equipment is an excellent way to get started and to understand the hazards that this type of equipment can present. You should look at various hazards including trailing wires, exposed wiring, overloaded sockets, exposed live wires, incorrect use of cable connectors, faulty equipment or installations.
  • It’s important that your staff have a clear understanding of how to report electrical hazards. Regular training is important and electrical safety should always be included in your induction programme for new members of staff.
  • Creating a health and safety chart is a good idea; by encouraging your staff to complete the chart with details of any hazards they come across, you’ll be helping to ensure they understand the importance of electrical safety and to prevent potentially dangerous issues from occurring.
  • Regular visual checks are important and whilst you don’t always need to carry out checks on small, battery-powered items, it’s a good idea to check mains adaptor plugs and cables for signs of wear and tear.
  • Whilst you don’t need a professional electrician to plug in your new computer for you, the skills of a professional are required for all electrical repair work and installations such as plug sockets and light switches.

Would your business benefit from an access control system?

Access control systems installed in Leeds by Dalec

Access control systems are simply an electronic method of controlling or restricting who has access to a building or particular areas of a building. Whether you have business-critical information you need to protect, or are concerned about the risk of theft, installing an access control system offers a wide range of benefits including:

  • Control who’s coming and going: the chances are that your business premises is home to some pretty valuable equipment. From specialist machinery through to cash or IT equipment, your business is at constant risk of external or internal theft. An access control system will help you keep track of who is coming and going, whilst logging the entry and exit of each individual member of staff.
  • Lost keys become a thing of the past: there’s nothing more frustrating or expensive than having to cut new keys when a member of staff leaves or loses their set. Many access control systems are designed to use entry card or electronic key fob systems so when a card or key fob is lost, it can simply be removed from the system.
  • Keep intruders out: if your business is large or you have areas which are open to the public – a shop for example – installing an access control system offers a highly effective way to control who has access to different areas, preventing unwanted strangers from gaining entry whilst undetected.
  • Limit staff access: many businesses only give approved access to certain areas for specially trained staff. Medical clinics, laboratories and research facilities, for example, often have restricted areas and controlling access in this way is a practical way to protect sensitive data, chemicals and more.
