The building is equipped with an electronic access control system controlled by Datawatch Systems. The building perimeter access system limits entry into the building after normal business hours.
The buildings hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The building is locked (requiring use of a key fob) at all other times, including evenings, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
ISSUING KEY FOBS AND MAINTAINING SECURITY
All authorized and current employees shall be issued a numbered and encoded access key fob, which shall be assigned to the individual. Key fobs will be provided by management and activated by your designated representative in your office. The access control system works only if it is kept up to date. Please maintain an active list of authorized fob holders and their numbers. In addition to limiting access to unauthorized personnel, the key readers make a permanent recording of the employee’s activity when the access key is used. This may be useful to you in the event of loss or theft after-hours. For that reason alone, it is imperative that the name assigned to the access key corresponds to its user and that keys are not shared or loaned out. To ensure the safety and security of all employees in the building, it is important that all lost electronic fobs be reported immediately. Should an employee terminate his or her employment with your company, please be sure to collect the employee’s electronic key fob together with keys issued to him or her. If for any reason the electronic fob is not collected, please contact the management office immediately at (202) 457-7945. You can report the same to Datawatch Sysytems at (301) 280-4310, or cardkey@datawatchsystems.com. It will be treated as a lost fob and deleted from the system.
It is extremely important that these procedures be followed to maintain optimum security.
