Theft, burglary, and vandalism are all crimes that pose a risk to business premises, thereby affecting the livelihood and safety of both business owners and their staff.
An estimated 26% – or 409,000 – business premises in England and Wales have been a target of crime within the last 12 months. It is therefore crucial that businesses take all necessary steps to secure their premises.
Security
Wired-in, responsive alarms that are insurer-approved, as well as locks conforming to BS 3621 standards, are crucial for keeping properties secure.
CCCTV is a deterrent and also allows you to have eyes on all areas of the premises. Recordings can be made, which can then be used in evidence, should a crime take place.
Have robust staff training and protocols in place, to reduce human error. These could include things such as key holder responsibility and visitor protocol.
Many break-ins happen at night when properties are unattended. Guards or patrols can ensure that there is always a physical presence.
Lighting is one of the simplest, but most effective means of security. Using lights in dark areas and around entry points can act as a deterrent for criminals.
