  • Book in advance if you need to work from a desk for some time. 

  • Make sure you only book a desk for the period required - and cancel if your plans change. 

  • Familiarise yourself with building security protocols—e.g., always carry/wear your ID, and feel confident challenging unfamiliar individuals in workspaces.

  • Be conscious of tailgating - when an individual follows through an open door. 

  • Remember to sign in and sign out on the iPads when entering or exiting the building. Failure to do so presents serious health and safety risks.
