This section provides you with a number of printable forms to help you carry out a security self-assessment. The forms ask for nothing more than YES or NO answers to a few simple questions.

It's well worth completing these forms to highlight the areas in which your business may be vulnerable. Each form can be printed by clicking on the print icon at the top left hand corner. The following topics are covered:

> Security of buildings

> Security during working hours


> Security outside working hours


> Keys and locking up

> Theft

> Management information and practice


> Liaison, training and contingency planning


If you answer NO to any of the questions in the forms you should refer to the relevant advice section on this website and seek assistance from others in your area.

 

To fully appreciate your own security needs carry out a survey of your premises.

Start with the area surrounding your property, then look at the outer shell of your building. Finish with a thorough survey of the inside of your premises.
