Meeting Security Heats Up


Hi there, Readers;

If you are a meeting an event planner thank you for following or reading my blog. If your just enjoying my post also thank you. This one may or may not apply to you. This blog is for those of us in the industry.

If you remember back to the September 11, 2001 and everything that happened. Security was a big issue. I just read an article in Smart Meeting that Meeting Security is Heating Up. It's that time for our industry to make sure our security measures are in place. The article goes into greater detail and weeks industry professions have to make sure we know what we are doing.

1. Check what is written in your mission statement and business plan about security. Is it still in place? If not make sure it's back in place.

2. First Aide Make all those responsible for public safety to have taken classes. Make sure the first Aide kit is in place with appropriate supplies in case of emergency. This is different than a disaster kit. Make sure that is up to date and not expired.

3. Each business is suppose to have a plan in place against terrorism. Is yours in place?

4. Make sure you know the difference between Safety verses Security.

5. If you don't know what is right for your business call a.) Fire Department b.) Police Department for a volunteery inspection. It's better that you call then be fined or someone get hurt and your businesses is out of compliance. There is also c.) You can hire a professional consultany to do both. Just make sure they have the proper credentials.

6. Make sure you follow through on any recommendations they might have for you.

If it's back in the news for meting and Event planners, it's back to being important for your business.

Travel Safety

Hi there, Reader;

I often find that I am out of town in one assignment or another. Therefore, here are some danger stranger trips when traveling alone.

For this blog I was at a Starbucks. No one likes to sit at a hotel all alone. The advice came from travel experts interviewed.

1.  Make sure your safe by:
      a.  Know your travel routes.
      b.  Know what you will be doing and where you are going and if possible let those at home know your itenary.

2. In this case I had my blogging camera on and was sitting in a high traffic area close to the bathroom. Don't use public bathrooms except when absolutely a nessisity.

3. Now her is one that is a little perplexing. Travel with a small dog if possible. It was recommended by the airlines, however it is discouraged by hotels. The dog barks when your possibly in danger. However, it is a lot of work when traveling and honestly I'm not sure if recommend it.

4. More and more people are Skpe, live chat or call someone while they travel from one place to another. Even if it's. I'm leaving the hotel and visiting ?.  Does this work? what I can say is it creates a record of your actions should something happen.

There are other bloggers who write more detail about travel. Read their information.
