What is a possible consequence of an employee’s being able to visit the safe-deposit box unaccompanied?

Explanation:

Safe box is a secured container with locks and mostly fireproofed , used to store valuable properties and data for protection against theft , loss and misappropriation.

When an employee is allowed to visit a safe box unaccompanied , the safe box is exposed to a risk of violation.

The employee may not be able to steal any of the items contained in the box as it is expected that there must be a proper record keeping of such items , and if any get missing , it can be easily traced to him. However , he could use any of the item as security for personal short term bank loan as this may not easily be discovered as long as the item is still physically existing in the box , unless / until the loan terms eventually get violated.
