What's inside
Quick guided routine to secure windows and doors, switch off lights, set the alarm, and record maintenance issues at shift end.
Some exterior or interior doors and windows may be open or unlocked, non-essential lights may remain on, the alarm may be unset, and maintenance issues are unrecorded.
The building spans multiple zones with different lock types and alarm panels, keys and access cards are grouped on a single set, and several inspection areas are dimly lit which slows verification.
All doors and windows are closed and locked, non-essential lights are turned off, the alarm is armed, and any maintenance issues are logged with location and a brief description.
