Building Security: General Office Security
Security Checklist
The following is a list of general office security suggestions, which are offered to you as an aid in
establishing your internal security procedures:
Restrict office keys to those who actually need them.
Keep complete, up-to-date records of the distribution of all office keys.
Establish uniform procedures for collecting keys prior to the termination of employees.
Establish a rule that keys must never be left unguarded on desks or cabinets.
Require that filing cabinet keys be removed from locks and placed in a secure location after opening
cabinets.
Prevent unauthorized personnel from reporting a lost key and receiving a replacement.
Ensure that a responsible person is in charge of issuing all keys.
Store keys systematically in a secured wall cabinet of either your own design or one that conforms to
a commercial key control system.
Insist on identification from repairmen who come to work in your office.
Clear all desks of important papers.
When working alone in the office at night, lock the front door to prevent anyone else from entering.
Keep the police, fire department, and building security telephone numbers posted.
Double check to see that all doors are securely locked before you leave.
Suspicious Persons
If you see suspicious or offensive persons in the building, please call the Management immediately. If
possible, make note of appearance, clothing, etc. in order to assist building security in locating them.
Please be aware of strangers in your Tenant areas and halls. Quite often a question such as “May I help
you locate someone?” will be enough to deter a potential thief. Suspicious encounters of this type should be
reported to the Office of the Building immediately.

Building Services: Special Services
For information regarding other special services contact the Building Management Office at (713)-236-9120.
Building Services: Stairwells
Stairwells are reserved for emergency use only, or as approved in writing by Lessor.
Emergency Procedures: Bomb Threat
Telephone Threat
When a bomb threat is made over the telephone, obtain the following information from the caller:
Exact location of the device.
Time set for explosion;
Description of the device;
Reason the caller has placed the bomb;
Exact words used by the caller.
Keep this information as confidential as possible.
Notify the Police Department. Call 911.
Notify the Management Office at (713) 236-9120
Once the Management Office has been notified of a bomb threat, it is our policy to advise your firm’s
manager or senior officer. It is up to the manager or senior officer to decide whether it is appropriate to
evacuate the office.
In the event that you are asked to evacuate the Building, please move away from the Building so as to allow
unfettered access to emergency personnel. Do not re-enter the Building until the Management Office, the
Police, or the Fire Department have given clearance.
Suspicious Packages or Mail Bombs
Letter bombs are usually sent through the mail addressed to a specific individual in the company, usually
disguised to look like some sort of gift or a small package. Letter bombs have the power to kill or seriously
maim anyone in close proximity. Letter bombs are usually contained within a large size manila envelope ¼”
to ½” thick and are fairly rigid.
However, the technology used in letter bombs has become increasingly sophisticated, and can be difficult to
detect visually. Letter bombs have been mailed from cities or small towns in the United States, as well as
from foreign countries. Be especially wary of letters that are mailed to titles -- Chairman, President,
Manager, Security Officer, etc. – rather than directly to named individuals.
If you suspect a parcel contains a letter bomb:
Clear everyone out of the immediate area; establish at least a 25 foot radius around the package.
Notify the police at 911 and Building Management.
DO NOT HANDLE IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEACTIVATE IT YOURSELF.
Emergency Procedures: Civil Disturbance
Should a riot or civil disturbance start outside the Building, the security guards will immediately lock all
entrances to the building. The police will be notified. We will keep you informed.
If a disturbance should occur in the main lobby, all elevators will be turned off at the first floor and the police
will be summoned.
Emergency Procedures: Elevator Malfunction
If you are in the elevator and it stops for no apparent reason, remember to remain calm. Pressing the
emergency button within the cab will alert an off site monitoring company that the elevator is malfunctioning.
The cab number will be identified, and so too, the specific floor on which it is stuck. The Guard will establish
two-way communication with elevators occupants until help has arrived.
In the event of a power outage, elevators will continue to operate using our emergency power generator.
Should an outage occur, elevator lights will remain on, but the car itself will temporarily cease moving. Each
elevator will automatically return to the lobby, their doors will open, and they will remain inoperable until the
power has been restored.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, ELEVATORS MUST NOT BE USED FOR EVACUATION. USE THE
STAIRWELLS.

1. Your name.
2. Telephone number where you can be reached.
3. Company name and address, including suite number.
4. Type of emergency.
An Emergency Procedures information sheet is available for each of your employees at 801 Travis. If you

Fire Wardens or floor monitors for your suite. These people will be given additional information regarding the
fire and life safety systems in the building.
Important notes
If you call 911 as a result of a medical emergency, please be sure also to notify building management with
your name, callback number, and location so that security may swiftly guide the paramedics to your exact
location.
If the audible alarm within the building sounds, please do not call the Management Office, unless you have
something specific to report. Building Management is aware of the noise, as well as the source of the
alarm, whether it’s false or a legitimate emergency. Please keep the telephone lines clear so that
Management may to attend to the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Emergency Procedures: Evacuation
Click here to download a Building Evacuation Plan
Emergency Procedures: Fire and Life Safety
Fire Prevention
Do not accumulate quantities of discarded files or other paper trash in your office or storage area. Pay
special attention to housekeeping in those departments that produce quantities of debris, such as
duplication machines, mailing and receiving rooms.
Do not store large quantities of flammable solvents, duplicating fluids, or other combustible fluids.
Keep electrical appliances in good repair. Report unsafe conditions to the building office.
When furnishing an office, consider the fire potential of materials used in large amounts, like overstuffed
chairs, settees, couches or anything that could become a combustible item. Such furnishings should be
flame-proofed.
Where potential for fire is especially high, such as supply rooms, tenants may wish to consider installing
additional fire extinguishers.
Fire Emergency
IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE, you should remain calm and:
1. Pull the nearest fire alarm. Alarms are located in the corridors adjacent to the stairwells.
2. Call 911 from a safe location.
3. Evacuate or relocate and assist all others in the immediate area.
4. Close doors behind you to isolate fire.
5. Proceed to stairwells and listen for instructions. NEVER use the elevators.
6. Be cautious when opening doors so as not to spread the fire. Touch any door to see if it is hot before
opening.
7. If smoke is present, stay low and crawl with your body against the floor. The clearest air is near the
floor. If forced to make a dash through smoke or flame, hold your breath and cover your nose and
mouth with an article of clothing.
Emergency Procedures: Flooding
In the event of a flood that may cause damage to tenant property or affect the normal operation of the
building, designated tenant representatives will be contacted by Building Management personnel,
regardless of the time of day.
The first priority is to ensure that no personal injury occurs as the result of a flood. The second priority is to
discover the cause and prevent or minimize additional flooding.
Once the flooding has been contained, clean-up operations will be commenced. Tenants will need to
contact their insurance carrier for any damage to their property.
Emergency Procedures: Homeland Security
Heritage Plaza Property Services, LLC recommends that each tenant have an emergency action plan in
place to help their employees prepare for, and react quickly to, a regional emergency, including terrorist
attacks. Click on the links below to access a variety of resources that aid in preparing for a regional

Emergency Procedures: Pandemic Preparedness
What you Need to Know
An influenza (flu) pandemic is a worldwide outbreak of flu disease that occurs when a new type of influenza
virus appears that people have not been exposed to before (or have not been exposed to in a long time).
The pandemic virus can cause serious illness because people do not have immunity to the new virus.
Pandemics are different from seasonal outbreaks of influenza that we see every year. Seasonal influenza is
caused by influenza virus types to which people have already been exposed. Its impact on society is less
severe than a pandemic, and influenza vaccines (flu shots and nasal-spray vaccine) are available to help
prevent widespread illness from seasonal flu.
Influenza pandemics are different from many of the other major public health and health care threats facing
our country and the world. A pandemic will last much longer than most flu outbreaks and may include
"waves" of influenza activity that last 6-8 weeks separated by months. The number of health care workers
and first responders able to work may be reduced. Public health officials will not know how severe a
pandemic will be until it begins.
Importance and Benefits of Being Prepared
The effects of a pandemic can be lessened if you prepare ahead of time. Preparing for a disaster will help
bring peace of mind and confidence to deal with a pandemic.
When a pandemic starts, everyone around the world could be at risk. The United States has been working
closely with other countries and the World Health Organization (WHO) to strengthen systems to detect
outbreaks of influenza that might cause a pandemic.
A pandemic would touch every aspect of society, so every part of society must begin to prepare. All have
roles in the event of a pandemic. Federal, state, tribal, and local governments are developing, improving,
and testing their plans for an influenza pandemic. Businesses, schools, universities, and other faith-based
and community organizations are also preparing plans.
As you begin your individual or family planning, you may want to review your state's planning efforts and
those of your local public health and emergency preparedness officials. State plans and other planning
information can be found at www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/checklists.html.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies are providing funding,
advice, and other support to your state. The federal government will provide up-to-date information and
guidance to the public if an influenza pandemic unfolds.
Pandemic Flu Resources
There are many publicly available resources in place to help communities, companies, and individuals plan
for a possible pandemic flu outbreak. A few of the most useful sites are linked below:
Pandemicflu.gov
This is the official U.S. Government site for information on pandemic and avian influenza. The
material on this site is organized by topic for easy reference.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
The CDC Web site is another primary source of information on pandemic influenza. They also have a
hotline—1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636)—that is available in English and Spanish, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week (TTY: 1-888-232-6348). Or, if you prefer, questions can be e-mailed to
[email protected].
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
DHS is working on a “Business Planning Guide,” which will be posted on the DHS home page and on
Pandemicflu.gov as soon as it is completed. Also, for business-specific questions, the DHS has
created an e-mailbox— [email protected].
BOMA Resources
BOMA/Greater Toronto Pandemic Flu Report
The report addresses the threat to commercial buildings from an avian flu pandemic.
The resources above will provide a lot of information, but we also encourage you to:
Listen to local and national radio
Watch news reports on television
Read your newspaper and other sources of printed and Web-based information
Look for information on your local and state government Web sites
Consider talking to your local health care providers and public health officials.
Emergency Procedures: Power Failure
All 801 Travis Street Office Buildings and Common areas are served by emergency generators. In the
event of power failure, these generators will provide emergency power for certain basic building functions.
Those functions include:
1. Activating emergency lights on each floor throughout the building, including all Exit signs.
2. Activating all stairwell lighting.
3. Activating the building’s emergency Fire, Life and Safety Systems as well as the building’s
communication systems.
4. Recalling all elevators to the ground floor lobby. (One elevator will remain operative for use by
security to assist handicapped persons or to take service crews and equipment into the building, as
needed.)
It is seldom necessary to evacuate the building during a power failure. Unless you are directed to do so
through the emergency communication system, please remain in your offices.
Emergency Procedures: Severe Weather
When severe weather conditions become apparent, the U.S. Weather Bureau describes conditions by two
(2) classifications, a Watch or a Warning. This applies to the reporting of severe thunderstorms, the
approach of weather conditions favoring the formation of tornadoes, a hurricane condition, a winter storm
condition, etc. A Watch becomes effective when atmospheric conditions are present that can produce the
particular weather phenomenon. A Warning means that the weather condition has been spotted and prompt
action must be taken to enhance safety.
Except in very rare circumstances, the decision to evacuate the building based on the above weather
reports will not be made by Building Management, but rather by each Tenant Company. However, in the
event these conditions do exist, the following guidelines should adhered to:
Move away from outside windows. If the windows in your offices are supplied with blinds, close the
blinds (this will provide protection from broken glass).
Do not panic.
If evacuated, lock all desk drawers and take all items of value with you.
If evacuated, use a route that is in the building interior and stay away from large expanses of glass
and windows.
Use the stairwells rather than the elevators.
If evacuated, do not return to your office until advised to do so.
Emergency Procedures: Toxic Hazards
If there is a toxic spill or exposure, proceed immediately to an area where you are no longer exposed. Call
911. Provide the building’s address, your floor and phone number, and also what type of spill has occurred.
Take appropriate action to contain the hazard; close doors behind you, and always follow all safety
procedures when working with toxic materials.

Policies and Procedures: Contractors
REMODELING AND REPAIRS
Only contractors and consultants approved by Building Management will be allowed to perform work in and
for the Building. Complete plans and specifications for all repairs and construction must be submitted to the
Building Management Office for review and approval. All work requiring above ceiling access or floor coring
must be accomplished after hours and scheduled through the Building Management office. Should a lessee
require telegraphic, telephonic, annunciator or other communication service, Lessor will direct the
electricians where and how wires are able to be introduced and placed and none shall be introduced or
placed except as Lessor shall direct.
Subsequent to the completion and occupancy of your new office, all alterations and improvements to the
premises must be approved by the Landlord. This approval is necessary to make certain that the proposed
work not only meets the same standards of original construction, but also complies with all building codes
and regulations. Any request of this nature should be directed to the Property Management Office at (713)
236-9120.
