HOTEL ROOM SAFETY
• Hotel check-in: Make sure you or the front desk personnel do not say your room number out loud. If they do, change rooms immediately.
• If traveling with other crewmembers – write down each room number of your co-workers. • Crewmembers should be staying on the same floor for security reasons.
• Before entering your hotel room – make sure the door is actually shut before placing your keycard into the slot. Simply push on the door first.
• Escort and check each other’s rooms before entering – the escort will remain in the entry doorway while the occupant checks the room thoroughly. If traveling alone, request a hotel security guard to escort you to your room.
• Turn on the lights!
• Methodically walk through your room checking all closets, cabinets, compartments, shower stall, vanities, etc.
• Check adjoining door (if applicable) to ensure deadbolt is engaged properly. • Check behind curtains. • Check sliding glass doors and windows to ensure they are locked and engaged properly. • Check under the bed – solid frame or not. If needed, lift mattress up to check. • Make sure your room telephone is working and alarm clock is not set. • Check entry door peephole – it may be switched for viewing into your room from hallway.
• Before your escort leaves – shut the entry door and engage deadbolt to ensure it’s working properly. You’d be surprised how many do not fully engage.
•
When riding in an elevator – stand by the entry door NOT towards the back of elevator. If something doesn’t feel right – get off immediately.
• If unable to get out of elevator standing in this position allows you to punch all the floor buttons.
• The Do Not Disturb sign should be on your doorknob always!
• Request housekeeping when needed but only when you are in your room to monitor. •
Television left on but not too loud to cause a disturbance.
• Leave your lights on – if you are staying in a hotel with a system where you have to insert your key and remove before leaving – request two keys (or carry an old key from another location) and leave one in the power control slot to ensure you are never returning to a dark room.
• Be aware of your surroundings – before re-entering your hotel room – look down the hallway both directions to make sure no one is close by. If so, do NOT enter your room until they have passed by and are gone.
• Opening the door for Room Service, Maintenance, Housekeeping, etc. – flip the lock latch over or engage the deadbolt while door is open – prevents door from closing entirely.
• If venturing out alone – inform others of your plans by verbal communication, voicemail message, or place a note inside your own room stating times, destinations, plans, etc.
• Build relationships with hotel staff – They will be knowledgeable of recommended and safe times and areas.
