Modern office needs a worth
safe
True chief's aim
is a right choice of a safe that will provide information and
documentation safety. The fact that such question aroused is already
something. Usually important documents, cash or things a chief
wants to hide from eyes of outsiders are put into a safe.
All accumulated office papers can be divided
into three groups. The first group represents documents that are
useful for everyone and the only risk is the loss which can occur
as the result of someone's slovenliness or a fire. The second
group are the documents that should be surely locked from outsiders
and protected from a fire as far as possible. The documents belonging
to the third group should be discarded at once in order not to
clutter one's office room. Slovenliness is fought successfully
for a long time by putting documents into the irons of document
cases that should be hidden after all. Type of document cases
is formed by a habit and some certain impartial factors. Properly
speaking, there are two alternatives: or adored by many accountants
"Korona" document cases ("Korona lochovice",
spol. s.r.o) or American hanging files.
The best mean from a fire was and still is a
fire-resistant safe. And it must be exactly fire-resistant, but
not a fireproof safe. Fundamental difference between these types
can be seen in the name: the last one doesn't burn down, while
nobody will guarantee the same to its contents. A fire-resistant
safe guarantees that its contents are saved, while the safe itself
becomes irreversibly damaged. All safes are put to a number of
determined tests which results are the basis for the certification.
It can be of the next class: 60 or 120, P or DIS, where digits
mean a period of time (in minutes) during which a safety of paper
(P) and different magnet storage devices (DIS) is guaranteed.
The difference is concluded in the fact that state of no operability
of diskette, strimmer, CD- and DVD-disks occurs at the temperature
of more than 60° and humidity of 80%, while paper loses readability
and self burns at the temperature of more than 170° (humidity
level doesn't matter).
The main complexity of choice is concluded in
the fact that safes as goods have latent consumer properties.
It means that once bought a safe a consumer probably will never
have a chance to use any of the properties he paid for. If an
accident had happened there are only two alternatives: if a safe
was selected correctly its contents would be saved, in the other
case you would have to mourn the loss of all valuable things you
stored into it.
Another type of papers - documents - also requires
anti-break-in protection: the cost of a safe multiplies. In itself
anti-break-in protection runs into money, especially when it's
combined with a fire-resistant protection: a liter of net storage
volume (by the way, it is the main criteria of comparison of different
safes) rises in price many times. After all in order to make a
safe more durable one needs to augment its steel percentage, while
in order to increase its fire-resistant capabilities it is necessary
to decrease steel percentage. Complexity of a design influences
the final cost.
Quantity of anti-break-in alternatives grows
in numbers. The main complexity and unrevealed thing here is that
both Russian and European standards don't give a clear idea about
a period of time that would be enough for a cracksman to gain
control over a safe. It results in a fact that an ultimate consumer
at first spends much time trying to understand the whole procedure
of tests, the system of resistance units calculation (time spent
multiplied by a tool coefficient). For example, American TL15
class means that a criminal equipped with a set of tools (mallet,
chisel, perforator and circular saw) will spend exactly 15 minutes
for break-in. It means only the time of contact of a tool with
the object. All in all including corrections caused by tool shifting
and tool application cycles it will guarantee a customer 1 hour
of intense work. Following TL30 class simply means doubling of
a time of operation, while TRTL30 class additionally allows cutting
torch and a powerful hydraulic device to be applied. There is
also TXTL60 class which means usage of explosives. Finally, if
a burglary was successful the only thing that can improve your
mood is a thought that someone had to work hard.
Complication of a cracksman's life is only possible
using good safe selection. There are some priorities one must
never forget: do not jam a safe with cash when it is intended
only for the storage of low security level documents, protection
from fire and curious persons of your staff; do not put jewelry
that costs more than 5.000 USD into a wall-safe - its main purpose
is storage of private documents such as passport and restricting
access of housemaid or children. The main task of storage contents
safety is solved on the principle of separation items by their
priority: let your documents be kept in one safe, cash be stored
in the second, guns and ammunition should be kept in the third
and different data carriers in the fourth one. This is a right
way, but it brings some obstacles, because it needs much space.
That is why this way is the way that should be used at office
where each department and employee has his own task.
So, what to do if there's no much free space,
but you have to store a lot of things? The best solution is to
keep all the things together (all-in-one), but separated one from
another in the inner space of the storage equipment. A fire-resistant
safe that has anti-break-in class, data carrier drawer, hanging
file system, locked cash or gun section and which is mounted to
the flooring and/or a wall would be the best choice.
The only way not to put one's foot into it is
to have a look at the model that passed tests first-hand and buy
a safe of the same type. There is a clear logic in such approach:
when tests are passed successfully this model is proudly put in
the window.
