HOLIDAY SAFETY REMINDER

The holiday season can mean an increased risk of fires and a higher potential 
for criminal activity due to people taking advantage of convenient downtown 
shopping and because of the increased number of special events and office 
parties.  We would like to pass along a few safety and security tips from the 
City of Houston Fire Department and the Houston Police Department.

? Please do not prop open stairwell doors or doors to the freight elevators.  
This defeats security. 

? Use only artificial trees and greenery in decorating your office space. Do 
not place cut trees or greenery within the building. Cut trees become major 
fire hazards when they dry out.

? Office parties or the holiday mood may distract you.  Be alert for thieves 
who try to take advantage of the holiday season. Sometimes just having fewer 
people at work during the holidays creates an opening for thieves. If you see 
someone that does not appear to belong in your work area, immediately call 
the Enron Security Console at 713-853-5360.

? Keep your purse or wallet with you at all times or locked away in a drawer 
or closet.

? If you go shopping, invite a friend to go along. Try not to overload 
yourself with packages.  When you return, lock your gifts away in a safe 
place.

? Always be aware of your surroundings while in a public area. If things don,
t look right, follow your instincts and avoid going into the area.

? When waiting for a ride home after hours, remain inside the building near a 
card-reader door until you see your ride arrive. 

? If office parties are on company premises and involve alcoholic beverages 
or public invitees, call security at 713-853-5360.  Security will advise you 
as to company guidelines.
