Is it safe to give blank checks to bank

Recently I took a credit card from a major bank against salary transfer. They took four blank checks from me even though my company is a major goverment company and I provided the salary transfer letter. Is this legal and safe and the usual way?

You gave me a scare and I checked with the bank. They reassured these cheque are in bank's name and nobody else can use it. Once card is cancelled they will destroy it in front of you. Still can anyone who took credit card against salary transfer confirm this?

Did you sign the checks? If you did, you are an idiot. Joys to all.
