At your home

• Make sure that there is a strong front door fitted with strong locks and a chain
• Close all windows when the house is empty
• Lock all doors
• Don’t let rubbish accumulate and keep bins away from the house

Your business or place of work

• Don’t let refuse rubbish accumulate and become a target for arson
• Anti-social behaviour is often linked to arson. Report such behaviour through your local neighbourhood policing team, neighbourhood watch or through Crimestoppers.
• Protect your commercial property. Seek advice from a security company but installing good lighting and CCTV will often act as a deterrent to criminals

When locking up your business ensure:

• All internal doors are closed
• External doors are locked
• No unauthorised persons are left on the premises
• No accumulation of waste or rubbish is left
• Alarms are switched on

Vehicles

• At night, park in a well lit place
• Remove the ignition key, close all the windows and lock the car
• Fit and use an anti-theft device
• Report abandoned cars to the police

Take responsibility for your building and think of ways in which someone could start a fire inside or outside of your property. Act on any issues you find immediately and reduce the risk.
