Using ID Badges or Tags to Control Items Brought into Your Building

Whether you are checking for weapons or illicit substances, you can take some of the simple measures used at airports.

For many reasons, some of which you might not have thought of, you might want to attach security tags or ID badges to bags that are brought onto your premises by employees or visitors. You might also want to incorporate additional security measures into your existing employee identification protocol.

You can easily update your ID badge security system rather than implement a new system. You can do this by attaching small stickers with expiration dates to any plastic or laminated badges that employees already wear. These stickers are durable, but easily removed, replaced, or covered if you want to extend the expiration date, especially for temporary employees.

You can also tag bags and briefcases, which may be especially important if belongings are checked by security at the door. Whether you are checking for weapons or illicit substances, you can take some of the simple measures used at airports.

Most importantly, if you tag baggage for security purposes, you should use a label or tag that is non-transferable. A sticker can be removed and put on another bag. A sticker may also be removed and tossed in the trash for someone else to pick up and attach it to another bag or briefcase. If you use a non-transferable security tag, it cannot be reused once it has been sealed or fastened to an object. Using a non-transferable tag is a simple way to ensure that the people in your building are safe.
