Risk Assessment

• Following the introduction of the new European Standard, EN50131, regarding the installation of intruder alarms, there is now a requirement to produce a documented ‘Risk Assessment’.


• Previously, although not formally recorded, this had been carried out by the surveyor while attending a site, highlighting issues that required attention, whether physical or electronic security.


• Intruder alarm systems are now specified and designed to take into account the insurers loss, i.e. the value of the attractive stock/possessions in a property, whether the property has any previous theft history and the grade of notification required.


• The risk assessment document is completed and incorporated with the site details, a copy is included in the literature accompanying the quotation.
