Quick Overview
Record the requested visit, property and unit, access permission, agreed window, contact method, key or lockbox instruction, vendor, and completion result. A visible log makes missed access a solvable coordination issue rather than an unexplained delay.
Common Mistakes
Do not share access details more broadly than necessary. Use a controlled record and remove obsolete instructions. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency physical security resources provide general security context.
Do not mark a visit complete because the vendor arrived nearby. Record actual entry, work status, and any new access requirement.
Common Questions Answered
What should happen after a missed visit?
Record the reason, notify the relevant person, assign a new window, and identify the action that prevents a repeat.
Who owns the log?
One operations owner should keep the schedule current and confirm that access instructions are safe and current.
