match on fire arson risk management

Arson

Arson is the most common cause of large fires on premises. Read our arson risk management guide to reduce the risk of your organisation falling victim to it.

Ansvar’s arson risk management guide is a 30-point checklist which you can use to review your risk and guide you through all the steps you can take to reduce the risk of your organisation falling victim to arson.

The checklist is divided into four different areas:

Property protection

Review all your premises security arrangements.

People protection

Can you ask neighbours to be vigilant and encourage staff and volunteers to make regular checks?

Housekeeping

Are flammable materials and waste on the premises stored sensibly and securely to minimise fire risk and spreading?

Damage procedure

Are minor repairs or damage quickly repaired. Do you have a disaster recovery plan?
