or unnecessary access to areas workers work in alone or at night (e.g. security fences on construction sites, access via a security card or code, asking guests to leave the room while workers clean)
     o          install electronically controlled doors with viewing panels that allow surveillance of public areas before the doors are opened from the inside
     o          install video surveillance in areas that can be accessed by the public, both as a deterrent and to identify concerns
     o          separate workers from the public with fixed or removable barriers (e.g. high counters, furniture, screens on counters or screens between drivers and passengers)
     o          ensure vehicles have central locking
     o          provide an alternate entrance and exit if there is a risk workers could be followed by customers, clients or patients, and
     o          ensure worker facilities and amenities provide privacy and security (e.g. separate staff toilets where there is a risk of sexual or gender-based harassment from customers or patients and secure change rooms and wash facilities for staff who need to change at work).
   -            Consider the workplace layout:
     o          provide space for workers to conduct their tasks and move about freely without physical contact
     o          arrange furniture and partitions within the workplace to ensure good visibility of service areas, improve natural surveillance and avoid restrictions on movement
     o          ensure there are no areas where workers could become trapped, such as rooms with keyed locks
     o          provide workers with a safe place to retreat to avoid harassment
     o          ensure supervisors have visibility of their staff and space and access to provide support when required, and
     o          use furniture, barriers, screens or high counters to separate workers from the public.
   -            Consider the design and layout, and environmental conditions when work is conducted away from the usual workplace:
     o          select conference venues with appropriate facilities
     o          consider the safety of accommodation used for work trips (e.g. select hotels with secure and private rooms and with safe access to transport and other required amenities)
     o          ensure technology used when away from the usual workplace is safe (e.g. monitor apps used to communicate for inappropriate behaviour, allow parties to be locked out of the platform after hours, or use quarantine or filtering functions pending review), and
     o          where necessary consult, cooperate and coordinate with other PCBUs such as the owners of hotels or meeting venues to identify and manage risks.

     5.6          Worker accommodation
When controlling the risk of sexual and gender-based harassment you, as the PCBU, must consider the design and layout and environmental conditions of worker accommodation you own, manage or control. For example:
   -            Ensure worker accommodation is secure, both for the worker while they are occupying it and their possessions while they
