We have seen an increase in unauthorized individuals gaining access to our facilities, including homeless individuals entering driver centers and unauthorized vehicles being let through secured gates. This poses a serious security risk to both employees and company property.
What is Tailgating?
Tailgating, also known as piggybacking, happens when someone follows an authorized employee into a secured area without swiping their own badge. This can occur at building entrances, driver centers, or through gated areas. While holding the door for someone may seem polite, always ensure they have proper authorization.
Your Badge, Your Responsibility
Your badge is for your use only. Do not let others follow you into secured buildings or swipe unauthorized vehicles through gates. If someone does not have a badge, they must visit the appropriate department to obtain one.
Why Swiping Matters
Using your badge every time you enter helps:
Keep an accurate record of who is in the building for safety purposes.
Prevent unauthorized individuals from wandering through facilities.
Protect against potential security threats.
If you see someone attempting to enter without a badge, politely direct them to the front desk or appropriate department for assistance. If you notice suspicious activity, contact the 24-hour Security Operations Center (SOC) at 623-907-7744.
Let’s all do our part to keep our workplace safe. Thank you for staying vigilant.
Security is a big issue. Not just for personnel but for property as well.
I am glad that a "badge" has to be used on personal vehicles that park on the property. Yet, parking is still very limited. Is there any plans to increase employee parking?
Darn! Not good… I’ll be certain to direct individuals w/out proper credentials to check in w/guard etc
With reference to the msg about access to facilities. If the enforcement of wearing a badge openly would be enforced, this might not be as much of a problem as it apparently is, but even office personnel keep their badges concealled. After what happened in Katy to Mike, this should be a 3 strikes and you're out offense. Roght after it happened, the badge issue was enforced for a short time and then fell to the wayside a few months afterwards.
