Building security audit

Building security audits are reviews of a building's security issues, usually completed after an incident such as a theft or damage to property.

You can request a security audit for your building through your supervisor or manager, who can then contact the Manager Security.

Security incidents

You should report to Security if your building's security has been compromised or there has been unauthorised activity in the area. Unauthorised activity includes:

• theft of physical or intellectual property
• damage to physical or intellectual property
• verbal or physical assault, abuse or harassment.

Reviewing evidence

If you want information from CCTV or building access reports, you need to request them through UQ's Right to Information and Privacy Coordinator.
