🔒 Lock-Up Rules for a First Impression Specialist

1. Visitor and Staff Check

  • Ensure all visitors have left

  • Confirm all staff members have exited or know you’re locking up.

  • Notify security or management if anyone is lingering without reason.

2. Front Desk Security

  • Secure sensitive documents (e.g., visitor logs, schedules, deliveries).

  • Log off or shut down your computer and lock screen if required.

  • Lock drawers or cabinets containing confidential information.

  • Turn off or unplug electronics ( Tv’s, space heaters, etc.) if applicable.

3. Physical Checks

  • Do a walkthrough of the lobby, bathrooms, break rooms, and nearby meeting spaces.

  • Check for:

    • Leftover personal belongings

    • Suspicious packages or items

4. Doors & Windows

  • Lock main entrance doors and ensure they’re fully secured.

  • Check windows, and close shades.

6. Lighting

  • Turn off non-essential lights

7. Communication

  • Inform your manager or on-site security that the building has been locked up.

8. Final Exit

  • Exit through the designated door (usually the front or a staff exit).

  • Lock the door behind you and test the handle to ensure it's secure.

  • Do not linger outside alone — leave promptly or wait in a secure area if being picked up.
