Physical AssetsHR responsibility fo

Physical AssetsHR responsibility for managing physical asset risks focuses on two areas: protecting people from injury and protecting assets from theft or damage. Managing risks from injuries caused by physical assets was described earlier in the chapter. Methods for protecting physical assets from theft or damage can include building security measures such as guards, security cameras, keys or card-key lock systems, and entry barriers such as fences or security gates. The size, nature, and cost of the asset, along with the budget of the organization, determine appropriate methods for protecting these assets.
