What is Tailgating and Piggybacking?
Tailgating is the act of someone slipping in unexpectedly after an authorized person has opened the door. Similarly, piggybacking occurs when an authorized individual opens and holds the door for someone who may or may not have the proper credentials/access. When these actions happen, a secure access point loses its purpose and the building, occupants, and equipment are put at risk.
Tailgating can happen in a variety of ways, including:
- An unauthorized person gains entry to a building by following someone with proper credentials/access.
- An unauthorized person joins a large crowd who are authorized to enter but not supervised.
- An unauthorized team member gains access to an internal building area by following someone with proper credentials/access.
How to Prevent Tailgating/Piggybacking From Happening:
Tailgating can have many consequences, including theft of valuables, vandalism, and stolen intellectual property. The good news is that it can be prevented through anti-tailgating/piggybacking strategies, which ensure only those who are meant to be in your building are allowed access. Here are some actions you can take to prevent tailgating.
- Be mindful of who is entering the building behind you.
- If they do not have their credentials/keys, ask them if they are a resident or visiting a resident.
- Do not share information with who you don’t know and who may want to enter the building behind you, regarding where apartment numbers are, or sharing any aspects of the facility.
- If you suspect that an individual who entered the building should not be in that space, please reach out to the building leadership (A/RC, CCs immediately). If after hours, please reach out to staff on call.
Help us keep International House a safe and tailgating/piggybacking free environment!
