In today’s dynamic work environments, ensuring the safety and security of employees is paramount. Workplace violence can have devastating effects on morale, productivity, and the overall reputation of a company. At Frasco® Workplace Investigations, we understand the critical role that surveillance plays in preventing such incidents. With over six decades of experience, we offer comprehensive investigative services tailored to meet the needs of human resources and risk management professionals.

 

The Importance of Surveillance

Surveillance is a powerful tool in the arsenal of workplace safety measures. It provides concrete evidence that can be used to prevent and address incidents of violence. Here’s how surveillance contributes to a safer workplace:

  • Deterrence: The presence of surveillance cameras can deter potential perpetrators from engaging in violent behavior.
  • Evidence Collection: High-quality video footage serves as indisputable evidence in investigations, helping to identify and prosecute offenders.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Surveillance allows for real-time monitoring of workplace activities, enabling swift intervention in case of suspicious behavior.

 

Surveillance

At Frasco® Workplace Investigations, we employ surveillance techniques to ensure comprehensive coverage:

  • Covert Surveillance: Investigators with discreet cameras, either in their vehicle or on foot, are placed in strategic locations to monitor activities without being detected.
  • Rolling Surveillance: Investigators in their vehicles track the movements of employees, particularly those working outside the office, such as sales or delivery personnel.

 

Case Study: Surveillance in Action

  • Preventing Retaliation Post-Termination: After a difficult termination, we provided around-the-clock surveillance to monitor the terminated employee’s activities. This proactive measure ensured the safety of remaining employees and prevented potential retaliation.

 

Proactive Measures for Risk Prevention

Surveillance is not just a reactive tool but also a proactive measure that helps in identifying and mitigating risks before they escalate:

  • Regular Security Audits: Conducting regular physical security analyses to identify vulnerabilities and implement corrective measures.
  • Background Checks: Comprehensive background checks for new hires to ensure they do not pose a threat to workplace safety.
  • Policy Audits: Regular audits of workplace policies to ensure they are up-to-date and effective in preventing violence.

 

Empowering Employers with Data

Our surveillance services provide actionable insights that empower decision-makers:

  • Pattern Identification: Identifying patterns of misconduct or suspicious behavior that may indicate a potential for violence.
  • Compliance Verification: Ensuring that employees adhere to safety protocols and company policies.
  • Incident Documentation: Detailed reports and video evidence that support internal investigations and legal proceedings.
