Five places where storage lockers are essential
Today, most of us walk around with phones, wallets, expensive watches and much more, which can make it daunting when it comes to leaving your valuables unattended. Of course, there are some situations where this is necessary, so it’s important to make sure your guests, customers or employees have access to secure storage lockers to keep their personal belongings safe during their visit.
There are many places where supplying storage lockers would be beneficial, but here are five of the most important:
With hundreds – even thousands – of pupils to keep safe, making sure you minimise the risk of theft amongst pupils is imperative. While children should be encouraged to leave their valuables at home, it’s inevitable that many will bring their mobile phones to school. For this reason, they will need somewhere safe to store them during lessons, especially those such as PE where they’re separated from their bags. Storage lockers also give students the opportunity to store heavy books and more, so they don’t have to carry them around all day.
In some jobs, your employees may be able to keep their personal belongings on them at all times. However, in retail, this simply isn’t the case. Your employees are expected to walk around the store or work on the tills, and therefore won’t have anywhere to keep their belongings safe. By putting storage lockers in the staff room, you’ll give your employees somewhere to keep their valuables during work hours, and minimise the risk of theft between employees and any opportunists who find their way into the back of the store.
If you attended a gym or leisure centre without adequate storage lockers, it’s likely you’d turn around and leave again. After all, nobody wants to leave their clothes, bags and valuables unattended in a room that hundreds – maybe even thousands – of people have access to. Making sure you offer lockers is essential if you run a gym or leisure centre – the last thing you want is to have to deal with cases of loss and theft or develop a reputation as an unsafe gym.
Whether your office is small or large, safety is still an important issue to consider. With so many people walking in and out every day, from employees to postal delivery people, there’s the risk that employee valuables may go missing. To prevent this, it’s highly important that you give your workforce the option to store their belongings in a secure storage locker. This will also make your office look much more professional, as you won’t have bags and other possessions stuffed under desks, making your office look untidy.
When your staff are working around heavy duty machinery and equipment, taking safety precautions is imperative. One such precaution is making sure that your employees aren’t distracted or in possession of anything that could skew their concentration – such as a mobile phone. For this reason, it’s a good idea to make it compulsory for your workforce to put their belongings in a locker at the beginning of the day.
