Equipment must be secured and protected by department personnel. If equipment is stolen without apparent forced entry, State Risk Management insurance may not cover the reimbursement to the university.

Procedure

The following procedure is encouraged for improving equipment security in departments:

1. Confirm that the capital equipment has an ASU Property Control number affixed to it. (This tag has proven to be a deterrent to theft.)

3. Secure equipment to lab benches or desks, where possible.
4. Inventory equipment in the department quarterly.
