"Anytime you have an incident like this related to a vendor you're using, it causes you to take a good look at the way you're doing things," said Rob Brough, executive vice president of marketing and communications for Zions Bank.

KSL News talked to a local shredding company Friday afternoon about safety procedures it has in place.
