Kingdom holds ACS status which allows 15% of our workforce to work under an LDN (Licence Dispensation Notice). Although we hold this advantage Kingdom has never utilised the 15% allowance and in May 2008 we enhanced our selection defences by adopting a “No License No Work” policy.

THE SECURITY DISCUSSION ROOM

Up to 80% of businesses never fully recover from a serious fire and arson and arson crime, like all crime, gets worse as the economy slows down.

Responsibility
Make someone within your business responsible for fire safety including protection from arson attack. This person should be appropriately trained and competent to conduct a risk assessment.

Counter Measures
Keep a clean, tidy and organised site. Piles of rubbish are often targeted by opportunist arsonists and careful management of waste and storage materials is therefore critical.

Think of all the ways in which someone could start a fire deliberately – inside or outside your premises and identify entry routes for intruders – via yards, drain pipes, flat roofs etc

Identify the fire hazards:
1) All possible sources of ignition
2) Flammable liquids and gases, combustible materials (including waste), furniture or furnishings and combustible elements of the structure
3) Structural features that could lead to the spread of fire
4) All possible sources of ignition Flammable liquids and gases, combustible materials (including waste), furniture or furnishings and combustible elements of the structure
5) Structural features that could lead to the spread of fire

Strengthen your security measures:-
1) Entry points (limit) and introduce access control systems
2) Reduce gaps under doors
3) Metal containers on letter boxes or install anti arson letter boxes
4) Perimeter line
5) Intruder detection systems
6) Security lighting
7) CCTV
8) Manned Guarding
9) Ensure fire protection equipment is in good working order and regularly maintained and inspected

Be aware of pressure groups who could target your business

Prepare a business continuity plan. The business continuity plan should have a clearly defined purpose as well as practical steps to ensure that the effect on business operations is minimised. A copy of the plan should be kept off the site.

CRIME STATISTIC!

Each year there are over 3,100 arson attacks on businesses.
