Privacy and Security Reminder from Sue
No tailgating! FirstLight Health System has locked doors that require you to use either a key, badge, or to enter a code. Don’t undermine security by letting someone else tailgate in behind you through the door. And don’t put your coworker in an awkward position by trying to tailgate or piggyback through on his or her entry. It may feel uncomfortable to force people you know to use their own access credentials, but that’s the rule. You’re protecting the physical security of the building or secure area, as well as protecting the computer systems and information inside.
Since this has gone out, I’ve had a few questions regarding allowing someone who walks in with you enter the building with your access code. Yes, many of us are coming through especially on shift changes the very same time. If you know the person, it is fine to open the door or even hold it to allow the next one in. If there is ever a question on who the person is, don’t hesitate to ask. Always be observant in all locations and especially sensitive areas.
