Tips
Protect yourself from criminal influence
Be careful with your Schiphol access pass
Wear your access pass visibly in places where it is mandatory but put it away when you take the train home, for example. Do not share photos of your access pass on social media and be careful who you tell about it. For criminals, people with an access pass are a possible way in to our airport.
Take care of what you share
Of course, you can be proud of working at Schiphol Airport. But be careful with what you share on Instagram, Facebook, or other social media. For example, don’t share photos of your access pass, work schedules or sensitive information about your workplace. Criminals are also on social media.
Don't share details
Criminals aren’t easy to recognise. They are often friendly and well-spoken. They also know how to manipulate people. So be careful if someone asks you about your work. Especially if they keep asking. Keep details such as working hours, flights you work on and your Schiphol access pass to yourself.
Report every suspicious act
Do you ever see people at work who don’t belong there? Have you ever been offered money for your Schiphol access pass? Do you have colleagues who behave strangely? Report it to your manager, a confidant or (anonymously) to the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. Look here for all options.
Dare to ask for help
When you're persuaded or coerced by criminals to do something wrong, it feels like you don't have a choice. This is not the case, although there may be consequences. Either way, finding a way out starts with speaking up. Talk to your employer, a confidant or report it to the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee.
Be a good employee
This may sound obvious, but be professional. That means you are proud of your job, take responsibility and inspire your colleagues. You are honest and reliable; you will not be bribed. You do the right thing, even when nobody is watching. You are alert and talk openly or report it when you are approached with an unusual request.
When in doubt, ask yourself
Not sure what to do? Ask yourself these questions:
Are your actions aligned with your morals? What else are you putting at stake? What's the next choice? What are you getting yourself into? What would other people do in your situation?
