Security Risk Assessment
Purpose of the premises survey and risk assessment
The survey is required under the European Standards to which all
accredited operators in our industry adhere.
The guidelines for these risk assessments require that when
considering the design of security systems for commercial properly,
the design should be consistent with the risk of an attack on the
supervised (protected) premises. The level of risk is considered to
depend, among other issues, on the type of contents, the potential
for theft or damage, and the structure, location and general
environment of the building.
The survey therefore focuses on the following key areas:
- Contents type and value, particularly high-target
"thief-attractive" goods
- Theft history, particularly theft of vital office
equipment
- Potential for damage, including vandalism and arson risks
- Building construction and openings, location, occupancy and
existing security.
Prevailing legislation and regulations:
- European Standards: Our industry installs to EN 50131 standards
which cover intruder
alarm high security and wireless systems.
- Requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
- DD243:2004, which defines how a system can be armed and
disarmed to minimise false activation incidents.
Our business risk assessment survey is entirely free and without
obligation.
