In an increasingly threatening world that calls for government and building owners of high-risk facilities to exercise every possible precaution, the idea is not to live in fear of potential threats, but rather to use a variety of means to ensure safety, whenever possible. Working with a cleaning provider who thoroughly vets and hires staff with security clearances and trains on security protocols can enhance the safety of your facility and add peace of mind.

Your cleaning crew should be additional eyes and ears in secure facilities to help identify suspicious individuals or activity and reduce security threats. A high-security cleaning provider should hire personnel with security clearances, train employees to spot security threats, and make sure their employees work with discretion. 

Since most high-security facility contracts require daytime cleaning, your cleaning provider should check that employees who work during regular business hours conduct themselves with the utmost care and are easily identified with professional cleaning uniforms. Additional security steps include having cleaning employees report suspicious packages, know emergency evacuation routes, and know their site’s emergency numbers.

As a leading provider of contract cleaning services to high-security facilities requiring cleared personnel, Mister Kleen empowers employees to help eliminate the risk of a threat. We do so by collaborating with the facility’s security team and providing training such as the Employee Security Awareness Program (ESAP). 

The primary goal of the ESAP program is to enhance our employees’ awareness by training them to better identify potential threats and vulnerabilities and how to properly report them to their onsite supervisor and security personnel. The program includes recurring training with examples of the various security vulnerabilities we are faced with daily to include insider threats and counterintelligence awareness. 

Every employee, including your trusted cleaning provider, plays a critical role in identifying and reporting suspicious activities and threats and should follow the rule, if you see something, say something.
