Security Log Books

A well-maintained Security Log Book is the first step in defending a business against lawsuits. It documents incidents that may not require a defense or an explanation later. It can back up an Incident Report in more detail. Information about how to contact everyone involved can be crucial to an investigation. Every responsible hospitality industry run business needs to have management/security maintain a Security Log Book – a daily record of potentially litigious events that could possibly cause a lawsuit and put you out of business. Each page contains categories or headings of potential problem areas and numerous questions related to each heading that must be answered. This is a day-to-day diary of Security issues using a structured form.
