3. Surveillance cameras: Install CCTV cameras to monitor the rooftop and mechanical areas, deterring potential unauthorized access and aiding in identifying trespassers.
4. Alarm systems: Install intrusion detection systems that trigger an alert when someone tries to access restricted areas without authorization.
5. Signage: Clearly display signs indicating restricted access and warning of potential dangers on the rooftop or in mechanical areas to discourage unauthorized entry.
6. Regular maintenance and inspections: Conduct routine inspections of rooftop and mechanical areas to ensure the security measures are in place and functioning correctly.
