Offical BT file on Vechical Security( BT vans that is) [ Security Of BT Vech Overnight ] [iNFERNO oF MED&eLTECH] The following is an official British Telecom issue text about security of all BT vechicals overnight.. following what I assume is occurances of BT vechical misuse :).. SECURITY OF VECHICALS - OVERNIGHT/WEEKEND PARKING Cases have arisen where theft has occurred from official vechicals and where damage has been done because vandals have entered and driven vechicals like dodgems. Drivers of official vechicals in Southern London Districtare therefore reminded that they must observe the following security rulesin accordance with Driver's Handbook MTT/VHE/E001, chapter 11. Disregard of security regulations is a serious offence against the discipline code. Action has been and will continue to be taken in proven cases. 1 Parking in covered, locked accomodation, i.e. within a secure garage: Ignition keys should be left in situ, and vechical cab doors unlocked. All other doors should be secured. No other official keys should be left within the vechical. If their are any doubts about the garage being fully secure the instructions in para 2 must be applied. 2 Parking in Exchange or TSvC Yards: All vechicals and other official keys must be removed from the vehicle. All vehicle windows must be secured and all doors locked. Ladders and where necessary, spare wheels must be chained and padlocked. 3 Vehicles Waiting to be Serviced at MT Workshops: All keys should be removed, all doors locked and the driver's set of keys handed to the Workshop supervisor. Where this cannot be done because the vehicle is waiting for access to a remote MTW, the driver is responsible for seeing that the vechicle keys are left with a responsible person and for informing the Workshop supervisor. Ladders should always be removed to secure storage. 4 Managers who have vehicals under their control must arrange to obtain duplicate sets of keys for each vehicle (2 sets are issued with all new vehicles). These keys must be labelled with the vehicle number, and held in a locked key cabinet in the manager's office. Arrangements should be made to transfer keys between management groups as vehicles are changed or moved around. Notice mist be give to BSL 52 prior to a vehicle being changed or moved to a new control and in the case of `O' licenced vehicles, BSL 52 must be notified prior to any change of venue whatsoever. 5 Short term changes (not more than one week) of vehicle overnight/weekend parking point must be agreed with the Officer-In-Charge of the site it is proposed to use. Longer term or permanent changes of parking point must be cleared with Engineering Accomodation duty, ESS1. 6 A copy of this form must be placed in a plastic sleeve and kept in the vehicle. All official drivers must recieve a personal copy, sign at appendix `A' and return the appendix to the first line manager who will hold same. Thereafter, the appendix must be signed every 3 months. Arrangements must be made for this form to be provided and signed by all new official drivers. ESM 4 P BLOOR District Security Manager
