- Satisfactory fire, theft, water damage, flood, earthquake, and environmental hazard controls must be in place, as demonstrated by a recent facilities report.
- Trained security personnel must be on exhibition grounds at all times during public opening hours. Satisfactory security and alarm systems must be in place at all times outside of opening hours.
- Proper environmental controls must be used to maintain steady temperature and humidity levels.
- Display lighting must be reduced as necessary for any light-sensitive works.
- Works must be physically guarded against any contact with museum visitors, via display cases, frames, etc.
