Never assume a stranger wandering in the building is a member of staff.  Politely asking, "may I help you" is an effective way to deter someone who is not authorized to be there Never leave valuables (purses, laptops, cell phones) on desk if you are away from them. Always keep money in a safe place.

Develop a safety plan.  Know ahead of time what to do in an emergency.
