Recently, the calls have been coming in about the burned out office shredders. It does seem like a great plan to shred in-house but the reality is that the busier an office becomes, the less likely it is that valuable staff time will be spent feeding the office shredder on a daily basis. Every time your employee feeds paper into the office shredder, your business is as good as shredding its money and its profits as well as risking its reputation. A lawyer said “We all try the office shredder and realize that it is not the solution.” The office manager for a doctor said “Look at these three office shredders, they have all burned out and we still have stacks of paper that we need to shred.”
Here is our reminder.
■Office shredders are a chore to use but a recurring shredding service is secure, economical, and convenient.
■Office shredders decrease productivity and decrease profitability, costing twice as much to use as a recurring shredding service.
■Office shredders require maintenance and frequent replacement.
■Office shredders provide no record of compliant document destruction program but a NAID AAA Certified Company provides you with documentation if legal allegations arise or audits get done.
Remember, shredded paper that is placed in plastic bags and thrown in the trash carries every bit of information that you tried to destroy and you have no legal ownership of the trash — just ownership of the bad publicity due to misuse of the information taken from the dumpster. Also, it is easier to avoid large fines if you have a document security program in place that is compliant with federal regulations such as FACTA, GLBA, and HIPAA.
As a business owner, you are probably constantly worried about your reputation and costs. One of the best ways to protect your reputation and keep your revenue is to understand the repercussions of improper document security and disposal and implement procedures to avoid fines and litigation.
