Reel Important Security Measures: Work Place ID Security
Everyone has seen a movie or TV show episode in which the ID thief “accidentally” bumps into the target and silently and stealthily relieves them of their work security ID. Believe it or not, it actually happens. People in many high security settings are losing their work security IDs through smart and deceitful means—but that doesn’t have to be the story in your place of work. Instead of clipping your all important ID to your pocket, your purse, or some other “easy to bump place”, why not hang it around your neck where it’s easily accessible for security purposes, but not so accessible for the “accidental” bumping.
When you want to up your security measures without having to install a whole new state of the art security system, you should consider something simple and inexpensive—badge reels and lanyards are one way. Badge reels are a security badge accessory that allows the badge wearer to slide their security ID without having to remove it from their neck, keychain, or pocket clip. With badge reels there is a less likelihood that the ID will be dropped or misplaced once it’s been swiped.
A badge reel can be more than just a security measure. They can also be special ordered with advertising in mind; placing the company or business name on them, the name of the person wearing them, or even a special picture or icon. Badge reels can be customized to fit the look and feel of the company.
Lanyards are simple yet effective identity theft prevention devices. A lanyard is hung around the neck and clips securely to the security ID badge. This means that the ID badge is only handled in the employee’s home when they put it on in the morning, and at night when they return home. Unless thieves can find a way to cut the lanyard from your neck, they shouldn’t be able to take your ID badge from you. Sure, there are thieves that will try to rob you of your security ID badge no matter where it’s located, but remaining conscious of your security at work will enable you to avoid mishaps when it comes to the ID card you wear.
Lanyards can also be customized. They can be made using ribbon or beads strung together on very durable steel or metal compounds. The ribbon lanyard can be embroidered with a wide array of stylish designs suitable for any setting. Because they are becoming increasingly popular, lanyards are available in a wide array of different ribbon colors. Beaded lanyards are very stylish and can be special ordered in various bead colors, bead patterns, shapes, sizes, and designs. The beaded lanyard is especially popular in hospital settings where nurses must wear ID badges, but want lanyards that provide a little ‘oomph’ to their hospital scrubs.
Now you know that something as simple and inexpensive as badge reels and lanyards can be used as a security measure, you should consider getting some. The world can be an unsecure place; make sure that your business or company is one step ahead in the security game.
