It is possible to reduce the risk of arson by complying with the necessary regulations that have been implemented. Potential threats should be identified in advance and protection measures implemented. Every organization should document their fire safety control policies to ensure that they are protected from potential arson attacks.
Certain steps should be followed to start the process. The procedure should be commenced with an arson risk assessment, a document of management procedures, reduction of risk and the most suitable way to implement the procedures. Companies have various methods in which they can undertake risk assessments.
The assessment should be recorded and reviewed on a regular basis. It should commence with the determination of the most vulnerable points in the building. Items such as the control valves of the sprinklers, the placement of hydrants and other such related items should be assessed. These are possible targets of sabotage if it is easy for anyone to gain access to it.
Sources of ignition and the amount of combustible material on the premises should be assessed. An assessment should be done on the storage of combustible material and the most vulnerable sections of the premises. The group doing the assessment should consider where combustible waste is accumulated in the building and determine if it is being done in a safe manner.
The current security measures that are in place should be checked to ensure that it is adequate. This includes checking the access control to the fire safety equipment and installation. Deliveries to the building of hazardous materials should be monitored. To do this effectively, it is recommended that CCTV monitors are installed. This installation will deter potential arsonists. They will become aware that the building fire safety is being monitored all the time.
The safety team should implement fire safety management procedures. This includes inspection of the safety systems put in place. Checks should be done physically on the control valves of the sprinkler system to make sure that it is actually in the open position. Other areas of safety housekeeping should be undertaken. This includes checking on fire doors to ensure that it has been shut correctly.
Training should be provided to occupants of the building regarding the dangers of arson and how to prevent it. Risk reduction measures should be implemented. The reduction of the opportunities to start a fire should be considered. This may include construction of a suitable store to keep hazardous substances, adequate lighting in high risk areas and clearing hazardous waste on a daily basis. The implementation of good procedures and policies, risk assessment and training should offer most companies the opportunity to prevent potential arson threats.
To overcome many of the potential problems, there are management teams to carry out scenario scenes for possible sabotage acts related to their fire systems. This is usually based on events that could happen and how the team and others will handle the scenario. It provides the responsible team with practical training related to an arson attack. It also allows them to re-assess their procedures for adequacy. It gives the team the opportunity to determine if the other people on the premises are fully aware of their responsibilities and how they handle it.
