SAFETY AND SECURITY AWARENESS APPEAL TO SICID BUSINESSES

Recently we have noticed that more and more property owners are becoming apathetic towards the safety of their property and goods and we would like to suggest the following good practices/preventative measures to prevent loss/theft.

 

RISK SOLUTION
OPEN WINDOWS (ESPECIALLY TOP FLOOR) ENSURE WINDOWS ARE CLOSED BEFORE LEAVING PREMISES
VALUABLES IN PLAIN SIGHT THROUGH OFFICE WINDOWS (CELL PHONES/LAP TOPS/MONEY ETC.) REMOVE THESE ITEMS WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR OFFICE – EACH AND EVERY TIME
OPEN/UNLOCKED GATES ENSURE GATES ARE CLOSED AND LOCKED BEFORE LEAVING PREMISES
VEHICLES ON PREMISES WITH WINDOWS OPEN, LIGHTS ON, VALUABLES (TOOLS/EQUIPMENT) IN PLAIN SIGHT SECURE YOUR VEHICLES, ENSURE LIGHTS ARE OFF, NO VISIBLE ITEMS ON/IN VEHICLE
VEHICLES/TRUCKS/TRAILERS PARKED ON PAVEMENT/ROAD/POS (PUBLIC OPEN SPACE) OVERNIGHT OR LONGER FIND SECURE PARKING FOR YOUR VEHICLES
VEHICLES/TRUCKS/TRAILERS PARKED WITH VALUABLE ITEMS (TOOLS/EQUIPMENT/METAL/WOOD ETC.) FOR LENGTHY PERIODS OUTSIDE BUSINESS PREMISES OVERNIGHT AND OVER WEEKENDS EVEN OVER DECEMBER – JANUARY HOLIDAYS SECURE ITEMS IN LOCKABLE CONTAINERS/BOXES AND FIND SECURE PARKING FOR YOUR VEHICLES
DARK, UNLIT EXTERIOR AND YARD AREAS OF BUSINESS INSTALL GOOD SECURE LIGHTING ON YOUR EXTERIOR AND VISIBLE YARD AREAS OF YOUR BUSINESS
WHEELIE BINS LEFT UNATTENDED FOR LONG PERIODS OUTSIDE OF BUSINESSES’ WHEELIE BINS SHOULD ONLY BE PUT OUT ON THE RELEVANT COLLECTION DAY AND BE BROUGHT BACK ONTO YOUR PREMISES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTERWARDS (THESE BINS CAN AND HAVE IN THE PAST BEEN USED FOR TRANSPORTING STOLEN GOODS AND AS A CONVENIENT LADDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO BUSINESSES’)
PALLETS/TYRES/WOOD/SCRAP LEFT OUTSIDE BUSINESS PREMISES ALL OF THESE ITEMS MUST BE DISPOSED OF RESPONSIBLY AND THEY ARE ALSO USED BY CRIMINALS AS MEANS OF CLIMBING/ENTERING BUSINESS PREMISES. ALSO THESE ITEMS POSE A FIRE RISK AND CAN CAUSE EVEN WORSE LOSS IF IT SHOULD CATCH ALIGHT

THE OLD SAYING

“PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE”

ALSO MAKES GOOD PRACTICAL BUSINESS SENSE!

DSCN2311To whom it may concern
Dear Sir
Myself and Jenny who had a breakdown on La Bella rd in Stikland wish to bring to your attention that we very impressed with the care and service we received from Mr John van Rooi.
Being two senior ladies we were very relieved when he arrived on the scene, he reassured us of his commitment to wait until help arrived made us feel very safe.
Mr van Rooi’s character speaks volumes of your recruiting of staff.
We thank you for the excellent service you provide for the people of the Stikland area.
Yours faithfully
Jenny and Lorraine

Stikland CID Thanked

Would you please be as kind to forward this mail to your management team.

Yesterday afternoon I received a telephone call from your contol centre stating that one of your security staff “Moni” had noticed water coming out of our front door.  On my arrival at our premises Moni was waiting outside for me and it was quickly ascertained that a water pipe had broken in our kitchen and had flooded out our offices.  Thanks to Moni’s alertness any further damage to our offices was averted.  He was also very helpful in assisting me find the stop valve and moving boxes off the floor that had been damaged by the water.

Many Thanks

Stikland CID gets green public litter bins

SDC11004

SICID Manager Ralph van der Brock (Geocentric) and members from the City of Cape Town

SICID Manager, Ralph van der Brock moved quickly to open negotiations with the City of Cape Town to plan the deployment of green public litter bins in the area. Ralph and his team identified around 20 critical locations for these bins.

This week, Mr Bull and his team from Solid Waste Management in the City of Cape Town joined the Geocentric team in deploying the green bins in the area. We are confident that this project will make a significant contribution to the cleanliness of the SICID area. We encourage all our users of the public spaces and roads in SICID to use these bins and keep our area clean.

On behalf of SICID and Geocentric we would like to thank the officials of the City of Cape Town for their support in this project.

Onward to Achieving Our Vision

‘A SAFER – CLEANER AND A BUSINESS ATTRACTIVE CID
