Protection of material possessions
The SIS reminds you that EPFL is an open site and some precautions must absolutely be taken:
- Lock your office, even for short absences (it only takes two minutes to steal a wallet, a laptop, a mobile phone, etc.).
- IT equipment must be secured to a strong support with a cable and lock adapted to the situation. Sufficient precautions must be taken, particularly regarding storage conditions, locking and access restrictions. Antitheft equipment can be obtained from CRI: +41 21 693 1234.
- Do not let yourself be distracted during the transport of equipment and always make sure you are accompanied by someone.
- Do not leave items visible in your car (laptop, mobile phone, equipment on the front or back seat).
