Nature of the work
Student and staff safety is a primary concern for 欧美巨乳色情片 and the 欧美巨乳色情片 Building Security team has developed a list of upgraded security measures that they will be using as they undertake the work. These items are based in part on national best practice recommendations that focus on securing school perimeters and controlling access:- Electronic access control systems, including video intercoms and electronic locks at the main entrance of every school. This system gives school staff the ability to see who is at the front of the building, and control who may enter the site.
- Public address system speakers in the hallways, gym and external areas of schools as needed.
- New signage to direct school visitors to the main entry and require check-in at the main office.
- Additional fencing and gates may also be added depending on the needs of a school site and available funding.
