The security department

When guests stay at the hotel, they expect someone to protect them.

The hotel security department must protect the guests from all dangers: robbery and burglary, fire or flood. At the head of the hotel security department is the security officer.

The guests may keep their valuables in a safe-deposit box. The security department is in charge of it. The security department employees are prepared to protect the guests in case of any crime.

Often the guests lose their stuff in the hotel. They may leave their purses and wallets, hand-bags and umbrellas, hats and coats in bars or restaurants, restrooms or lobbies. The security department is in charge of the lost and found office.

The security department employees are trained for emergencies. They are prepared to help the guests in case of fire or other dangers. They are responsible for warning the guests of the danger. They are in charge of smoke detectors and fire extinguishers throughout the hotel.

The security department provides fire drills for all hotel employ­ees. Each hotel employee knows all emergency exits.

In case of an injury there are first aid kits throughout the hotel. The security department is in charge of them too.
