Lobby officer post orders

Lobby officer post orders the front desk can actually follow.

The lobby is the first decision point in the building. A lobby officer's post order has to be exact about who gets in, how visitors are verified, and who to call when someone refuses to comply.

What goes wrong

The instruction the officer follows is the one that has to be right.

When a named contact, a number, or a step drifts, the officer is improvising in the moment it matters most.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

What goes in lobby officer post orders?

They should define visitor verification, access decisions, delivery handling, disturbance response, escalation contacts, and logging requirements, specific to that lobby.

Why do lobby post orders go stale?

Visitor systems change, escorts and managers rotate, and mailrooms and desks move, while the written post order is left untouched.

Can SOP Live review a lobby post order?

Yes. SOP Live audits one post order for free and flags stale escort and manager contacts and steps that no longer match the lobby.
