Statistics show that up to 80% of single site businesses that suffer a significant fire, fail within the following 12 months due to valuable information, transaction data and customer files being lost. As most offices have valuable data, documents and company records that need to be kept protected, it is vitally important to prepare for the worst. By purchasing an office safe you can ensure that company information and valuables are kept safe and secure in the event of a fire, flood or burglary. There are many different types of office safes available here on Huntoffice. Before deciding on a safe for your office here are a few factors to consider:
• You should first determine exactly what you need to store inside it to ensure you have sufficient space. After considering the size and amount of items you plan on keeping in the safe you should allow extra space for items you may want to store in the future. We have a range of compact safes suitable for storing cash, CDs, DVDs, memory sticks etc. For those that need high capacity safes we have a selection of safes large enough to protect items like laptops and lever arch files.
• Another important factor is where to store the safe. Keeping it out of sight and in a well hidden place is essential to prevent someone taking off with the safe in the event of a break in. This will depend on the size of the safe and the available space in the building. Smaller safes can be stored in many places such as cabinets and under counters. If there is still a concern, especially with smaller safes which can be lifted, securing them to the wall or floor can sometimes provide the best security.
• What type of protection do you need? There are a few different options to choose from here which will depend on what you intend to store in the safe. There are a number of highly secure office safes available specifically designed to store cash. Or for sensitive company information stored on digital media and paper documents there are safes that offer fire and water protection.
