Industrial Chemical Security Proposal

Read the following scenario:

John leases a small building in a midsized city out of which he runs an industrial chemical company. John has 15 full-time employees that work Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.. Most of the employees travel on and off site throughout the day to load and distribute chemicals to clients around the city. John and one other sales employee are on site throughout the entire day. There is a burglar alarm set at night but no security personnel on premises. There is no exterior fencing or cameras around the building.

Recently, there has been some concern with the building safety because there have been several break-ins over the past 10 months. During the last burglary, the burglar stole tools and petty cash from John’s office and started a fire. There is a fire alarm system and sprinklers in the building, so there was little damage done to the building. Due to the nature of John’s business and the recent set of burglaries, John was visited by the FBI as there are concerns that the industrial chemicals could possibly be stolen. John has limited funds so he is not sure of the kind of safety improvements he will be able to make.
